I just read this article in the paper version of the #Eos magazine (April). "Life's building blocks found in #Bennu samples". #astrobiology #PlanetaryScience eos.org/articles/lif...
Life’s Building Blocks Found in Bennu Samples - Eos
The discovery of amino acids, abundant ammonia, and the bases of DNA and RNA on asteroid Bennu suggest that materials essential to life might be widespread throughout the solar system.

A reminder that the air traffic controllers at DCA had seconds to reroute other flights and coordinate with other airports to handle diverted planes. Those people are federal civil servants.

It had millions of interactions and ended up being in the Time Magazine article on the march. Felt like my phone was going to buzz itself apart. Weird when I see the image turn up in the wild now and again

The is the kind of actionable advice that can save your sanity in a fraught holiday setting
IF YOU CANNOT AVOID A FAMILY INTERACTION TOMORROW:

First thing in the morning, turn down the house thermostat very low (62 is often good) The house will stay warm, but every human puts off about 100 watts of heat, the oven will be on, and the house will get over-warm FAST.
Over-warm = cranky.

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.

Howdy Blue Sky denizens! I’m mostly elsewhere in social media, but someone said it’s funnier over here.

I could always use a good laugh.
