My first #LPSCHaiku of the week

Quiet poster hall.
Sci tsunami (sci-nami?)
Like carpet, hits hard.

#LPSC2025

Submitted my Lunar and Planetary Science Conference abstract today:

Geological History of the Huygens Landing Site, Titan.
Abstract 2237.

Haiku:

Huygens probe landed
On a distant icy world
What did it teach us?

#LPSC2025 #LPSCHaiku

Next up in the Bennu session is Sara Russell’s talk on Anhydrous Silicates in Asteroid Bennu Samples: Evidence for Primordial Protoplanetary Disk Components.

#LPSCHaiku:
Crystals in Bennu
That twinkle in the clays
Predate accretion

#LPSC2024

Tim McCoy is next, focusing on Bennu’s breccia diversity from the meter- to micrometer-scale. He also has the first OSIRIS-REx #LPSCHaiku of the day:

Breccias on Bennu found
In rocks from large to small scales
They whisper their tales

Abstract: https://hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2024/pdf/1951.pdf

#LPSC2024

More bad news for Icy Moon habitability. Henry Dawson now showing tidal stresses are insufficient to drive seafloor faulting in numerous icy moons.
#LPSCHaiku:
Beneath icy depths
Lies stone unbreaking and strong
Resisting the tides

#LPSC2024

Starting the afternoon Icy Moon Science Special Session will be Jennifer Scully on Impact Craters as Windows into the Subsurfaces of Icy Moons.
#LPSCHaiku

Darkness from below
Very evolved brine, and past
Impact in liquid?

This is going to be my seventh year to do this. Can't wait for #LPSC2024.

Science Conference,
Lunar and Planetary
Always brings the best.

#2332 (my first palodrome #)

Arrokoth's shape updated \
Twin lobes, ridged and impacted \
Fossil of the stream

Lunar and Planetary Science Conference #LPSC2024 abstract submitted! Number 1692.

"Dune Mixing in the Huygens and Dragonfly Landing Sites Region, Titan."

And, of course, the abstract haiku:

Like Earth like Titan,
At beach or in dune terrains,
Sand gets everywhere.
