my one small request - artists, please use alt-text so your art is more accessible to many more people!

Most people I've seen so far are doing it, but a few caught my attention that did not.

It makes it 100% more shareable for me (I mostly prefer to share images with alt-text)

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

This would have made more sense if I'd had one Malteser.

But I cannot eat Maltesers, so "no Maltesers" had to suffice.

I'm reminded of the time a former colleague went out for a run and made the word "MARS" just so they could show it to me in their fitness tracking app 🤩🥰

I think it's cool! Didn't you grow up watching stuff like the Magic Schoolbus (or we also had a show about a tiny explorer lady who would climb inside people's noses and stuff)? I think it's a great way to learn more about the human body.

One of my favourite examples, referring to Craig Venter who founded Celera Genomics and pioneered the shotgun sequencing method used on the Human Genome Project (excerpt from 'The Martians' by Kim Stanley Robinson):

"So - in that context - you think it makes sense for me to pursue this fossil junk DNA?"
"Well, sure. What do you mean? It's sure to tell us interesting things."
"It's incredibly slow."
"Why don't you read off a long sequence, brew it up and venter it, and see what you get?"
Smith shrugged. Whole-genome shotgun sequencing struck him as slipshod, but it was

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

3️⃣ It's a long and complicated way home

Despite heading toward Earth, the distance to our planet is still increasing and will reach its maximum only in mid-January 2026, before Juice gets closer again to meet Earth in September next year. Driving spacecraft through space is no easy feat. 4/8
