Marcus Bray, front, observes a sample inside a sealed atmospheric tent that has no breathable oxygen. The tent simulates atmospheric gas mixtures during Earth's earliest eon and allows researchers to work with samples by slipping their hands into leak-proof gloves. In the background, co-principal investigator and NASA astrobiologist Loren Williams looks on in his lab at Georgia Tech.
