Discovery of phosphorus:

Through alchemy experiments, Hennig Brandt isolated a glowing substance, leading to a new era in chemistry.

Searching for gold, Brandt had spent most of the day in his laboratory, heating sand and charcoal with a tar-like substance...

The serendipitous discovery of phosphorus revealed its illuminating capability and led to numerous innovations.

Phosphorus, discovered for its luminescence in the 17th century, was the first element isolated by scientists in a distinct natural state. Phosphorus was later confirmed to be abundant in humans, plants, animals and limestone rock.

Phosphorus in the moon :

Did you know phosphorus isn't just found on Earth, but also on the Moon? That’s a fact! Lunar soil has more chromium, less sodium and less potassium than terrestrial soil, but the total phosphorus level is comparable, 500–2000 mg P/kg, in lunar and terrestrial soils. This is enough for plant growth, suggesting the potential for extraterrestrial agriculture and future farming on the Moon.

Exciting possibilities for future space agriculture!
