"Perseverance Has a Pet Rock!" I had a lot of fun writing the latest #Mars2020 blog! 😀
For the last 4 months, @NASAPersevere has had an unexpected traveling companion... want to hear all about our Martian hitch-hiker? Check out the blog here:

Went on a birding walk today and learned so much! Ran across a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet AND a Hutton’s Vireo (lifer!). Can you tell them apart from my photos? 😉 It makes no damn sense. Compels me, though. 🕵️♀️📸
You can also count the number of long “finger feathers” (primaries). While both crows and ravens each have ten, on crows feathers 9-5 are typically quite long and obvious while on ravens feather # 5 is noticeably shorter. So crows looks to have 5 fingers while ravens only have 4.
Many Indigenous people live in dark-sky communities & they're already noticing impacts of satellite constellations amidst the stellar constellations we all know & love. Calling it "astrocolonialism" isn't an exaggeration. Excellent story by @beckyferreira. vice.com/en/article/k78…
This is what I spent my day doing today. I'm still trying to come up with an effective way for me to understand the paths trans-Neptunian objects take. This one has a line for each TNO, spanning its perihelion to aphelion distances from the Sun, at its inclination angle.
Update on my first sampling attempt: looks like the rock I drilled was too crumbly and broke into small fragments/powder, instead of producing an intact core. Pushing ahead to find my next target, expected to be more like rocks we cored on Earth.
