Resumen de Exploding air could form seas on alien worlds
The right combination of gases could put exoplanets through an explosive sea change. Hydrogen and oxygen in an atmosphere can ignite and leave behind water, dumping oceans onto a planet's surface. John Lee Crenfell at the German Aerospace Centre in Berlin and his colleagues calculated how oxygen could build up in a large, rocky planet's atmosphere and combine with pre-existing hydrogen to create water. They found that at high enough temperatures, the two could combust or explode, lighting up the sky in a ball of fire
