💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔭❄️ Where you land on #Mars depends on where the #water is, since buried ice is both drinkable water and the feedstock for rocket fuel. Mars keeps #its ice at the poles where #solar power fails, and the equatorial ice has long since vanished into the thin #atmosphere.

Astronomers explain that these #shootingstars occur when #Earth moves through the icy debris left by #comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Clear skies and a moonless night will make the glowing fireballs visible between midnight and dawn.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 💩🌊 Scientists at #Flinders University and #Germany’s #Karlsruhe Institute of #Technology argue fossilized feces, or #coprolites, helped fuel the #Cambrian Explosion 540 million years ago.

As early #animals evolved complex guts, their pellets carried nutrients through ancient #oceans, accelerating #ecosystem growth. The #study drew on deposits from more than 35 sites worldwide.

Mammatus Clouds
* UCAR Center for Science Education

Mammatus clouds are pouches of clouds that hang underneath the base of a cloud. They are most often associated with cumulonimbus clouds that produce very strong storms. These clouds usually form during warm months, and are formed by descending air in the cloud. Mammatus clouds are sometimes described as looking like a field of tennis balls or melons, or like female human breasts. In fact, the name "mammatus" comes from the Latin word mamma, or breast.

A Retreating Thunderstorm at Sunset
* Image Credit & Copyright: Alan Dyer (The Amazing Sky)

Explanation:
What type of cloud is that? This retreating cumulonimbus cloud, more commonly called a thundercloud, is somewhat unusual as it contains the unusual bumpiness of a mammatus cloud on the near end, while simultaneously producing falling rain on the far end. Taken in mid-2013 in southern Alberta, Canada, the cloud is moving to the east, into the distance, as the sun sets in the west, behind the camera. In the featured image, graphic sunset colors cross the sky to give the already photogenic cloud striking orange and pink hues. A darkening blue sky covers the background. Further in the distance, a rising, waxing, gibbous moon is visible on the far right.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🚀💥 #China’s planetary defense mission would crash a #spacecraft into an asteroid at 32,000 km/h before 2030.

The campaign combines impact and post collision analysis, unlike #NASA’s #DART and #ESA’s #Hera which split those tasks. #CNSA chief scientist Li Mingtao is also studying #telescopes to detect #asteroids hidden by the #Sun’s glare.

Drawing on #NASA’s RIDGE framework and decades of zero-gravity astronaut #data, he walks through the physiological hazards bone loss, muscle atrophy, fluid shifts, and space anemia. He concludes that while serious, these obstacles may not be insurmountable for a colony that never plans to return to #Earth.

A boiling hole of water might not be that unusual in Yellowstone National Park, where more than 10,000 thermal features exist. But a new one opened up just days after scientists were walking around on what was then a patch of ground. @ScienceAlert has more on the pool that sprouted up out of nowhere:
