Diamonds form under extreme pressure and heat, conditions that are actually common across planets and even in space. Some gas giants are thought to produce “diamond rain,” and carbon-rich stars may host vast amounts of crystalline carbon.

But wood is different.

Wood is the result of biology, specifically millions of years of evolution where plants developed lignin, a complex molecule that gives trees their strength and structure. That requires liquid water, a stable climate, sunlight, and a long, uninterrupted evolutionary history. It’s not just material, it’s a product of life.

So while diamonds can form through physics and chemistry alone, wood can only exist where life has reached a certain level of complexity.

Which means every piece of wood around you is evidence of a rare chain of events that happened on one small planet.

In a universe filled with extreme environments and exotic materials, something as ordinary as a tree might actually be one of the rarest things of all.

Tomorrow humans fly to the Moon for the first time in 53 years. Are you going to watch it live?

Tomorrow at 6:24 PM Eastern, NASA will launch four astronauts to the Moon from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It will be the first crewed mission beyond Earth orbit since Apollo 17 in December 1972. The crew includes NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen. The mission lasts approximately 10 days.

The countdown clock is running. Weather forecast shows an 80 percent chance of favorable conditions. The rocket passed its final flight readiness review with zero technical issues. NASA will livestream the entire mission from launch through splashdown on NASA TV, YouTube, and the NASA app.

This is not a drill. Humans are going back to the Moon tomorrow.
