In the middle is a large ceramic pot decorated with many tiny blue/indigo five-pointed stars. In the pot is a bizarre bulbous greyish growth resembling small spherical blobs sprouting off of larger spheres, down into the pot. Long strands dangle from the smallest blobs.
On the right a gloved hand is holding one of these smaller blobs which has had a corner cut out of it, revealing its fairly featureless interior.
Bulb Coral (actually a type of fungus) is a medicinal GMO found throughout the Solar System, its main produce is one of the key ingredients in space osteoporosis medicine, which allows folks to spend long periods of time in zero or partial gravity without suffering irreversible skeletal damage.

I just want to say, very clearly, I am pleased the Greens printed election leaflets in Urdu. Unlike the Mail, I think democracy benefits when voters are well informed.

Those on Luna also appreciate it for its visual similarity to their home's grey surface, while many Kuiper belt windrider cultures speak of the symbiotic relationship between a ship's crew feeding their leftover food and other organic waste to the Bulb Corals, who in return give them their medicine.

This artwork depicts crescent Jupiter and Ganymede, both featuring their auroras. On Ganymede (foreground), the auroras take shape of dim bands at ~30 degrees north and south glowing reddish from excited oxygen in its thin exosphere. On Jupiter (background), the auroras are close to the poles and are pink in colour, emitted by excited hydrogen. A minor moon, Amalthea, can be seen as a small yellowish dot located on Jupiter's disc.
Ganymede is the only moon in the Solar System with an intrinsic magnetic field. This produces auroral rings as diverted energetic particles interact with oxygen in its exosphere. Its parent planet, Jupiter, also has auroras.

PSA for Discord's new age verification!
If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.
Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+
It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

The ultraviolet aurorae on Ganymede, based on Junoβs close-up observations from 7th July 2021. As Juno flew by Ganymede at high speed, its UV spectrograph could only acquire narrow strips, combined here to display the overall shape of the aurora Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/UVS/ULiΓ¨ge/Gusbin/Bonfond

Nice glow up: Using data from NASA's Juno mission, scientists from the Laboratory of Atmospheric and Planetary Physics (LPAP) have observed fine details in the auroras on Jupiter's giant moon Ganymede for the first time. missionjuno.swri.edu/news/univers...

Doodle depicting a woman in some cramped spaceship interior in zero-g. She's drinking out of some pouch of liquid and is thinking to herself "This tea tastes like shit...". At the top is a date that reads "02/02/2656". To the left is some text that reads "Reading a paper she co-authored in that details more experimental proof in strong support of Persimmon-theory, which describes how general relativity and quantum field theory can be reconciled". Beneath is another panel depicting a long spindly spacecraft. Underneath this panel reads "A 2-month trip riding the solar wind at 500,000 m/s from Saturn to Uranus."

so you want to get to Titan L5 from a capture orbit achievable from outside Saturn's magnetosphere without spending more than a km/s on OMS delta-v: the movie (drift time can be cut to 27 days if another 200 m/s of dV is budgeted for phasing)

That's $45 for one, $35 for the next.
