This is the second or third piece from this outlet which I have reviewed. And, as with the others, it is excellent. Despite being brief it is replete with information and fascinating detail. The quoting and commentary are particularly exemplary. While the full study referenced is not available (hidden behind a pay wall) the Abstract is, and it, in and of itself makes for interesting reading. Even if one is not particularly inclined towards the scientific, perusing this compact monograph is worth the effort. Without question a worthwhile read. Five stars!

Not a technical paper with in depth analyses; however, a good bird's eye view of the theories and findings from a layman's perspective.

The article could have gone into greater depth, but it does a fine job outlining the recent study which appears to reveal that Earth life-sustaining elements crashed into our planet well after Earth's early formation. Here's a sentence from the piece that correctly explains why this is an important finding, "if life could get started quickly here, then perhaps it got started quickly elsewhere."
