Mechanisms of climate mitigation via soil carbon sequestration At the root of the excitement around soils is their ability to hold on to carbon, potentially drawing it out of the atmosphere and locking it away. The amount of drawdown in agricultural lands can be quite dramatic— a 2014 study found that at peak growth, the US Corn Belt (i.e.,

Astronomers have speculated that if the compact object is close to its surviving companion star, it can spiral into the star’s atmosphere, eventually sinking to the companion’s core where it disrupts the star, causing it to go supernova prematurely. Gradually, the compact object came to be within the star’s atmosphere. Compact object.
