    When James, our master of microscopes, was looking through samples he’d received from Spain, he didn’t expect to see this-a creature straight out of a horror movie, with dark reddish brown eyes and tentacles streaming out of its mouth.

    Molecular oxygen is extremely rare in the universe, because it is so reactive. The entire reason Earth has as much oxygen as it does is due to photosynthetic microorganisms. Which is also a miracle that they've reduced CO2 content to virtually nil and are still able to live.

    • @nobody.of.importance

    So sad that this series will be coming to an end. If I may be so bold, I recommend the book, "Oxygen: the Molecule that Made the World", by Dr. Nick Lane. Even though it was published in 2002, it is a tour de force of the history, geology, geochemistry, biochemistry and evolution that produced oxygen in our atmosphere. And it still is remarkably up to date.
