Hello to my new followers!

I’m a neuroscientist by training, a data specialist by day, and speculative fiction #writer by night. Really into climate & environmental fiction, hopeful narratives, the heroine’s journey, and the four-act story structure.

I have some starter packs you might like. 🙂

Big Mars news! 🔴

While more data is required, these findings could represent the most promising evidence yet of ancient life on Mars. 🧬

Go #ESAJuice! Swinging by Venus this weekend #planetsci, follow @operations.esa.int for updates:
Reminder that ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) flies past Venus this weekend. The spacecraft was designed to feel at home in the cold, dark environment of the Jupiter system, and it is too hot at Venus to turn the cameras on. Pics or it didn’t happen? You’ll have to trust us on this one.

The Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396A) located in the constellation Cepheus. This photo is an update of my earlier post from 2 spectral bands to 3. This is a SHO image which renders ionized Sulfur(reds), Hydrogen(yellows) and Oxygen (blues) using the Hubble palette.

The Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380) in Cepheus. Narrow band images bring out the outlined of a robed wizard hence the name. This HA/Oiii photo is rendered so the ionized emissions of hydrogen are red and oxygen are blue.
