Artwork: Miller-Urey experiment on origin of life
Miller-Urey experiment. Illustration showing the apparatus used in the Miller-Urey experiment to study the origin of life. In this experiment of the 1950s, American scientists Miller and Urey attempted to duplicate the conditions which would have existed on the primordial Earth. The apparatus contains a " sea" of sterile water (at bottom) under an " atmosphere" of hydrogen, methane and ammonia (upper right). Electrodes give off a spark to imitate either lightning or ultra- violet radiation from the Sun. After a week or so, the result is a tar-like residue containing amino acids, the basic building blocks of life

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the famous Miller-Urey experiment, a groundbreaking study on the origin of life. Created by American scientists in the 1950s, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey sought to recreate the conditions that existed on early Earth. The illustration depicts their apparatus, which consists of a "sea" of sterile water at the bottom and an "atmosphere" containing hydrogen, methane, and ammonia in the upper right corner. To simulate either lightning or ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, electrodes emit sparks within this environment. After approximately one week, a tar-like residue forms as a result of these reactions. Remarkably, this residue contains amino acids – the fundamental building blocks necessary for life's existence. The image not only captures this pivotal moment in scientific history but also highlights its significance in evolutionary biology research. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit to understand our origins and sheds light on how life may have emerged billions of years ago. As an art print from Science Photo Library, it serves as both an aesthetic piece and educational tool for those interested in science or biological studies. This visually striking representation invites viewers to contemplate our place in the grand tapestry of evolution while appreciating the beauty found within scientific exploration.
