Methanogenic #archaea (methanogens) have inhabited our planet for millions of years and are important for #methane and nutrient cycles in multiple ecosystems.

In this article, we review the biochemistry of #methanogens throughout geological eras.

Set up for science presentation about our Solar System, featuring magnetic board and spherical projection screen with image of Mars.

I was working as an educator at Pacific #Science Center when The Martian premiered.

You could see the impact it had by how guests were much more engaging with me about Mars and other bodies in our Solar System.

Hope #ProjectHailMary piques the same level of curiosity for #exobiology & #exoplanets.

Did Earth life actually begin on Mars? Asteroid impacts could let microbes planet-hop, study suggests "Life might actually survive being ejected from one planet and moving to another."

If so, did Mars life begin elsewhere too? #Biology #Science #Mars #Exobiology www.space.com/space-explor...

New Discoveries on Mars and Habitability By Nathalie A. Cabrol, Astrobiologist & Science Director, Carl Sagan Center, SETI Institute.

Organic molecules consistent with fatty acids and evidence of carbon cycling on Mars, facilitating the argument that abiogenesis was possible.

Rare Earth hypothesis but most planets with suitable conditions have mould on them.

Glorious for some, irritating for most.

Doctor Describes Seeing Non-Human "Exotic Biologics" and Cites Possible Tech Spillovers, Renewing Evidence Debate Host Patrick Scott Armstrong examines remarks from Dr. Anna Brady-Estevez, who says she personally viewed "exotic biologics" deemed non-human by a physician and referenced contested claims that crash-retrieval programs informed advances such as lasers and semiconductors. Her comments, which emphasize DNA-testing caveats and caution against assuming extraterrestrial origin, prompted renewed calls for verifiable evidence and transparent data-sharing.

Can scientists detect life without knowing what it looks like? Research using machine learning offers a new way A new machine learning model explores the boundary between biological and nonbiological chemistry.

If we assume that alien life uses the same chemistry, we risk missing biology that is similar – but not identical – to our own…” #Biology #Astrobiology #Exobiology theconversation.com/can-scientis...

European (#ESA) #Mars probe #Beagle2 stopped responding on #ThisDayInHistory in 2003, just prior to its landing. An #exobiology mission, it was cleverly named for the ship that took #CharlesDarwin on his long scientific exploration. This Beagle, alas, touched down too forcefully.

A New Paper Just Broke Evolution’s Hardest Problem And made me feel better about the likelihood of complex extraterrestrial life

A new Nature paper detonated one of the biggest assumptions in evolution.

The read-between-the-lines upshot: complex life may be far easier to evolve on other planets than we thought—because it arose 700 million years before mitochondria in an anaerobic world

I figured out that the plant needs a head finally, it was in my wintergarden for too long. Now, it fits well and looks fresh and juicy. It’s a crinkle leaf or Adromischus Cristatus

side view of the head

same side view but in bambu slicer

Other side view, but with already some broken support parts

Many heads are rather empty already, but this one has the most headspace. Due to the supports (27,1%) it took me about an hour to clean this fella of all his supports. It’s quite fragile so you break things easily.

A fresh plate came out of the printer. Enjoy the view and the lovely colors. But now it’s time to get rid of the supports even though they look amazing.

The track in the background is the A2 of an upcoming EP.

Top view of the head. From this perspective you can see black and red as well. The crassula ovata is still inside inside.

I think the roots of the crassula ovata are finally connected with the lower part of the pot. There are already some saplings, too. I matched pot and head with the same colors which fits nicely, I think.
