Clouds hang low over silver seas. Soft winds braid the twilight’s breeze. Rocks melt into whispered light, Clouds drift slow through velvet night. Far off, a lighthouse spins a thread. Weaving dreams where angels tread.

This is a great thread on the new claim of a "possible signature of life" on an exoplanet. Chemistry is complicated, so claims of finding life based on chemical evidence alone are going to be very challenging. I pretty much guarantee you'll hear a lot more of them in the future, all the same. 🧪

Since I feel at risk of becoming a baking account, here are a few pictures from one of my other passions: mars rovers! Currently I am a rover planner (driver) on Curiosity. I joined the rover world in 2017, and was the lead systems engineer for gDRT on Perseverance! Never a dull moment on Mars.

🦑💫This NASA/ESA Hubble image features the spiral galaxy Messier 77, also known as the Squid Galaxy. It would take more than a century between the discovery of the galaxy and the realisation that the ‘spiral nebulae’ scattered across the sky were not part of our own galaxy! #HubbleSpaceTelescope 🔭
