		<description><![CDATA[Volcanoes can be an indication of a planet that can support life. There are studies that show that lightning together with the chemicals volcanoes produce may have provided the spark that produced life on early Earth. This experiment called the Miller-Urey experiment has been shown to students for years from 1953 to mimic the chemical [...]]]></description>

The Earth has a trail of dust behind it but the dust is interstellar dust which is already present in the solar system.
