Evidence includes increased 60Fe and 244Pu isotopes in geological samples.
These cosmic events could have exposed Earth to high levels of cosmic radiation and galactic rays.
Two million to three million years ago, the solar system encountered dense interstellar clouds.
Two million to three million years ago, the solar system encountered dense interstellar clouds that may have significantly influenced Earth's climate and history. According to various scientific studies, these cosmic events could have exposed Earth to high levels of cosmic radiation and galactic rays, leading to increased isotopes in geological records and potentially spurring ice ages or influencing atmospheric chemistry.
The solar system's protective bubble, the heliosphere, was possibly deformed during these encounters. The Sun's cocoon retreated dramatically as it collided with the interstellar clouds, leaving much of the solar system exposed to radiation that may have shaped our evolution.
Scientists have discovered evidence of increased 60Fe (iron 60) and 244Pu (plutonium 244) isotopes in various geological samples from this time period, suggesting that Earth was exposed to the interstellar medium. This encounter could have had far-reaching consequences for our planet's climate and ecosystems.
Despite the compelling evidence, it is essential to approach these findings with a critical perspective. As a responsible journalist, I must acknowledge potential biases in sources and be skeptical of unproven claims. The mainstream media may present one-sided narratives or overlook important context. Therefore, it's crucial to consider diverse perspectives and corroborate information from multiple reliable sources before drawing conclusions.
Two million years ago, the solar system encountered a dense interstellar cloud.
Earth was fully exposed to the interstellar medium, where radioactive particles like iron and plutonium can be found.
Geological evidence shows increased 60Fe (iron 60) and 244Pu (plutonium 244) isotopes in the ocean, on the moon, Antarctic snow, and ice cores from the same time period.
The solar system encountered an interstellar cloud so dense that it could have interfered with the sun’s solar wind about two million years ago.
Evidence of increased 60Fe (iron 60) and 244Pu (plutonium 244) isotopes in the ocean, on the moon, Antarctic snow, and ice cores from the same time period suggests that Earth was exposed to interstellar medium.
This encounter could have spurred an ice age or influenced Earth’s atmospheric chemistry.
Approximately 2-3 million years ago, the solar system encountered a dense interstellar cloud.
Earth may have been outside the heliosphere for up to 10,000 years during this time.
Evidence includes an increase in certain elements such as plutonium-244 and radioactive iron-60 found in Antarctic ice, deep ocean cores, and lunar samples.
A massive cloud of cold, interstellar gas may have pushed the sun’s protective heliosphere away from Earth two to three million years ago, causing an ice age.

The author makes an appeal to authority by mentioning the findings of astronomers and geologists. However, this is not a fallacy as long as the author is reporting on their findings accurately and not misrepresenting them.
][Opher, Loeb and Peek] released a paper positing that Earth was once left exposed to cosmic dust and radiation after the cocoon of solar wind enclosing the solar system was deformed.[/]
[Geologists recently used small marine fossils to prove an increase in radioactive materials on earth two to three million years ago.]
