There are bacteria that do photosynthesis from the infrared glow of hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean.

Tomorrow, a paper that I've been working on for the past 7 years about the dark matter density of Andromeda XXI will finally hit the arXiv! I'm so excited, that I made a trailer! Sound on ;) @PhysicsatSurrey @surreyastro pic.twitter.com/8JCBDw18yR

I just wanted to let you know that there's a little family portrait on @NASAPersevere

Los patrones de color en el paracaídas de @NASAPersevere tienen un mensaje en código morse: "Atrévete a cosas poderosas" (Dare mighty things) :) y las coordenadas de @NASAJPL 34°11'58" N 118°10'31" W están en el borde del paracaídas! #DatosÑoños pic.twitter.com/Bf4hpfI73G

One upside to remote operation of telescopes: because there is no operator to take a look outside, there has to be a camera to check for unwanted clouds. And occasionally it catches something stunning like this (https://t.co/mQpk4gP5aJ). pic.twitter.com/xa7hbvm9wd

Maybe this doesn’t need to be said BUT pls never assume that to be a scientist you must be in love with some topic since you were a kid. Many of us don’t get that type of exposure or are even actively discouraged, only nurturing our interests later in life and that’s fine too!

It bothers me so much that with harassment in academia, every field seems to have “the usual suspects”.

If everyone knows that someone is prone to harassing people, why are they still in a position where they can do it??
I’m so tired of institutions protecting these people.

Si este tweet llega a 18.430 likes, hago un hilo sobre el colombiano que en el siglo XIX reportó la observación de canales en Marte después de una noche de observación por telescopio. (Algo me dice que se van a quedar sin saber la historia).

Take a moment to stand in Jezero Crater and feel the gentle touch of the Martian wind on your skin.#Calm

Unfortunately for you, your exposed skin freezes instantly and you asphyxiate in a few tens of seconds. pic.twitter.com/ZgMuBg70hB
THIS IS THE SKYCRANE EXPLODING!!!
— Prof. Paul Byrne (@ThePlanetaryGuy) February 24, 2021
Possibly.
One of the very first images returned by @NASAPersevere shows what looks like a plume far from the rover, in the direction where the Descent Stage flew.
A final image to celebrate a hero.#CountdownToMars pic.twitter.com/x8ehTYDenD
I'm literally never forgiving society for making me feel like I'm a child bc I don't like getting behind the wheel of a 2 ton metal beast regularly responsible for thousands of daily deaths

I love that Ken showed one of the (many) informally annotated images the science team is working on. It really does all start with super basic observations like:

Delta en la Tierra (Nilo) y delta en Marte (Jezero). Agua, escorrentía superficial y rocas/sedimentos a investigar por @NASAPersevere de interés geológico y astrobiológico.
