If Mars is anything like Earth, such a long-lived aqueous environment would be an ideal place for microbial life to form.

Already, Percy has drilled and captured several sediment samples from this very region. Its inventory is 60 percent full.

Some of the rocks and dust Percy has collected even show intriguing signs of organic compounds. But until a mission is sent to collect the fruits of the rover's labor, it's impossible to say if these compounds come from biological or geological sources.

#ice ice baby #polls #pls rb i want a good sample size #we can't ALL die of scurvy it's not mathematically possible! someone has to succumb to exposure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#also i could have included sooooo many more medical ailments i am being restrained #it could be its own separate poll #anyway so many of these are me and i would love to die of some horrible disease but i would fall into a crevasse #i do not look where i walk and there have been multiple occasions in my life where i have unintentionally climbed into a ravine & got stuck #one of which i had to us tree roots to climb up a rock face and i should have fallen and died #the other option was getting washed away by the tide lmao #and i was too embarrassed to call my boss for help #hi andrea can you send a boat to come get me i'm stuck at the bottom of hole in the wall and can't get back up #greatest (s)hits

How NASA Captured Asteroid Dust to Find the Origins of Life Nov. 16, 2023

The sample of the space rock Bennu that OSIRIS-REx collected could unlock an ancient existential mystery

"Comets are made of ice and dust, while asteroids like Bennu are mostly rock. _Meteors are tiny chunks of asteroids or comets that fall to Earth. When they enter our atmosphere, they burn and give us shooting stars. If that bit of burning rock survives the trip and makes it all the way to the ground, we call them meteorites."

"Older than any substance on Earth, and never subjected to the forces that Earth has been subjected to. So not squeezed like Earth. Not under the pressures and the heat of Earth. So Bennu has no core like the planets have. It’s really a rubble pile. And that was one of the surprises that the spacecraft gifted to the scientists. They didn’t think that Bennu was as loosely connected, all the pieces of Bennu, as it was. And so there was an arm on the spacecraft that reached out to touch Bennu and to take a sample. And that arm touched it and kept going and going and going. And one of the scientists said if they hadn’t had power on the spacecraft to withdraw, that asteroid would’ve eaten their spacecraft."

This is an actual sentence that ran in the New York Times.

#LoZ #TotK #NASA is going to get back to the moon #and the astronauts are going to lift a rock when collecting samples #and they'll be greeted with 'Yahaha! You found me!'

*neurotypical meaning "typical neurological development or functioning". i.e. not neurodivergent, i.e. someone who doesn't have autism/ocd/schizophrenia/an intellectual disability/tourettes/a personality disorder/social anxiety/dyslexia/bipolar etc etc you get the picture i'm just listing off disorders atp. yes self dx'd or questioning/researching is fine i love you 👍

#text #yeah sample bias blah blah blah #polls #if anyone comes in my notes lke 'actually [whatever] isnt neurodivergent' i will throw rocks at u the whole point of neurodivergent #is its an umbrella that covers a lot of different stuff #neurodivergent #i feel like i need a tag for more neurotypical people to see this but i dont thinkn they browse hashtag neurotypical uhhh #sudden loud noises #awkward small talk #uncomfortable clothing #<- they love those things right ?

!!!New product sample!!!

I recently got photos and a video of a product I ordered a few samples of; say hello to the Megaman E-tank shaker charm!!! I LOVE how this turned out- only thing I might change if I open preorders for this is the color of the glitter 🤔

#megaman #mega man #rock light #capcom #artists on tumblr #posting this as a bit of an interest check 👀 what do yall think?#my art #cyberpop shop #i ordered them with holo blue sequins idk why they look more red? it might just be the lighting…#i’ll probably post my own photos once the samples arrive to me so keep an eye out for those!

Becoming deeply radicalized against the idea of crewed Mars missions, y'know how the Rovers keep sending back better and better data what if instead of that we made an even bigger one and devoted nearly 90% of its capacity to holding a guy in a bubble on top of it instead of sending back useful data, but wait! They'll eliminate like a half hour of latency and also almost certainly contaminate the landing site and possibly the entire planet, so it's not all downside.

#At least in the near term it's fucking pointless and the downsides are very large and very big #Quite frankly it is extraordinarily likely that the first people to arrive at mars will do so dead #Because they will have been sent by fucking idiots willing to take too large risks #But the good news is that the wreck will spread across and contaminate huge amounts of the martian biosphere #To the point that we will quite possibly never be able to discern the history of life on mars #But if they live at least they'll get to slightly reduce the latency on our telerobotic fleet!#And travel home with the samples I guess #Good thing Percy's tagging and bagging rocks that we just canceled the return trips for #At least once we fuck up the rest of the planet those will be sterile #Kinda still excited about Aritimis but also kinda becoming anti-human spaceflight in general #We should consider not doing that for a while and at most focus specifically on living on the moon in a controlled and limited fashion #Ground the whole fucking commercial fleet who gives a shit those capsules are both gonna get someone killed sooner rather than later #And it's not like we're learning a whole lot by having people on hand up there #They spend most of their time trying to keep the machines from falling apart #Which is the main thing people would be doing for three continuous years on the shortest possible mars mission #Like you could send a dozen rovers for the price of one crewed mission both mass and money-wise #And that's probably a lowball estimate even assuming more and more advances in rover technology #Which are happening a lot faster than the advances in life support technology #Right now we do not even have enough functioning space capsules at our low earth orbit space station #Starship HLS is a fucking joke #The whole thing reeks let's just stop sending people into space for a while what were we really getting out of it

Just know that I tried very hard weasel in more references to my favorite mineral samples but no matter what I tried there was no reason to bring up wulfenite and rhodochrosite.

But I’m posting them anyway!

Rhodochrosite sample and something else I found at a local mine that’s definitely manganese based and may also be rhodochrosite

The left was labeled wulfenite/vanadinite from AZ and the left is wulfenite from Mexico

Raw corundum (ruby) under long wave UV and chalcedony geode under shortwave UV

My UV collection under long (top) and short wave (bottom)

The yellow sample on the top left is scapolite, the white and green samples on the bottom left are aragonite, and the large rock on the top right is opal.

And some more glowing stuff from a local mine, including willemite/calcite/franklinite and what I suspect is manganocalcite. (The stuff on the right is a mystery to me)

#I’d planned to properly label all these in the summer when I got them then didn’t #and now I’ve forgotten half of them #I maxed out on photos but know I also am obsessed with the covellite sample I have #apatite is also very pretty #(we dont talk about the legality of the actinolite sample)#the children yearn for the mines #shiny rocks #minerals #crystals #wulfenite #rhodochrosite #geology
