'Dark oxygen' creates questions about origin of life
Scientists have been researching dark oxygen since 2013, when Andrew Sweetman noticed some odd readings on his monitoring equipment 13,000 feet below the surface. The finding challenged long-held assumptions, and showed that oxygen could be produced without photosynthesis. One of the researchers on the recently-published study, Dr. Franz Geiger, joins LiveNOW from FOX.

Boeing Starliner astronauts may be stranded until 2025
The two NSAS astronauts who have been stuck in space for more than 60 days, may have to wait until February 2025 before they can return to Earth. NASA also said the astronauts, who arrived to the International Space Station on the Boeing Starliner, may have to be rescued by the SpaceX CrewDragon. Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore launched from Florida on June 5 on a trip that was supposed to last just eight days. Once in space, the crew found a series of concerning helium leaks and thruster failures that have left NASA and Boeing scrambling to find a solution.
