One thing that's funny about Fairies in Touhou is that they're extremely weak but they're also technically immortal. They're kind of like Gensokyo's equivalent of microorganisms. Like yes they only affect anything in large numbers but they're real and they're out there and you can't stop them

How to spot life in the clouds on other worlds
Cloud cover is bad for picnics and for viewing stars through a telescope. But an exoplanet with dense or even total cloud cover could help astronomers search for signs of life beyond our planet.
