my favourite Saturian moon.
Our #Moon, that shines brightly in our skies, has an albedo of 0.12% (reflects around 10% of the solar energy), while this one has a spectacular 0.81 (reflects 80% of the energy)
Not to mention the possibility of life in the geysers this icy world has.

Lupins! In space! Starbase Brewing sent seeds of Texas Bluebonnets (Lupinus texensis) and other native Texas plants into orbit aboard SpaceX's new Starfall capsule on 23 June, along with dozens of yeast strains from around the world. They'll be analysing how the spaceflight environment affected them all. The brewery's longer-term ambition? Beer on Mars. 🚀🌱🍺
