Pandora: Tuning Up our Data on Exoplanet Atmospheres

It’s amazing what people will do. Here’s a photo of Exoplanet 13562. It looks like an edible Earth fruit. But really, it’s an exoplanet missing its atmosphere. No one knows why the air disappeared, but billions of litres of water is frozen under the blue crust. The planet is bizarrely covered with Lazurite and ancient canals are visible to the naked eye. Someone with a sense of humor, photoshopped this planet to look like a plum. Adding stem and leaves and a little nub in the end. I’m all for a joke, but it’s wrong to say a photograph is something it’s not. People who post a photo and then make up some some crazy Sci-Fi story to go along with it, should be thrown in the stocks and have rotten tomatoes tossed at them. Actually bananas, have bananas tossed at them. I like bananas. Bananas are good.

I dream of humanity expanding beyond our star system. However, even with all that optimism, we're still about 500 years away from any reliable 2-way trip to and from Alpha Centauri.
Even if we develop antimatter propulsion at scale, it would still take a century of refinement to make it viable for interstellar travel.

Every three years the Viatepastus people of Exoplanet 09648 build these towers to protect and care for their larvae. These towers, which can reach 30 meters tall, can hold thousands of larvae. This is a photo of an abandoned tower, as they are only used once. The Viatepastus people keep everyone away from the tower when occupied. Not because of a religious belief, or ancient ritual, or even a sense of privacy, but because when they hatch, they tend to swarm and eat everything in sight, including tourists.

In the murky still waters of Exoplanet 62436 floats the Duocrus. Scientists are still studying this creature to find out exactly what it eats, how it reproduces and where it sleeps. But we know that the numerous spots in the centre are light sensitive and the legs interlock with other Duocrus to make massive floating colonies.

I’m waiting, patiently, to see what emerges out of these pods on Exoplanet 73525. One has already flown, so another must emerge soon. Here’s for not reading the travel book, not watching the videos, of having something as a surprise. To see something hatch, something emerge, something you have never seen before.

This plant is floating innocently through space. While it survives on minerals, it looks to be opening their jaws, with a little spark in the middle to lure in oblivious prey. But it’s all just this photograph, and the angle, and a trick of the light of the nearby sun. This is just a space plant, floating in vacuum, collecting dust to survive. No hidden monsters today.

On Exoplanet 82546 the Blatteus Beetle builds their nest to imitate the local Blatteus Bird. (not the best naming convention, but there you go) The Blattus Bird is seriously territorial and aggressive, attacking all who come near. Because other birds avoid the area, the beetle can rear their eggs and pupa in relative nest peace. I love this part: the beetle even goes so far as collecting white sticks and smearing purple moss on the sticks to give them the distinctive purple beak colour of the bird. How did this beetle evolve to do this? it’s just amazing.

Obviously an enormous carnivorous plant on Exoplanet 83635. It looks so innocent, doesn’t it.

(((version 02: same photo, same planet, different story….)))
Looking down on the skeletal remains of tree roots on Exoplanet 67393. I spent a beautiful day wandering around the remains of these trees. This planet, when it was blossoming into a planet with intelligent life, (that is, we think, there were a few things in the ocean who almost had a brain) was hit by an asteroid that must have been huge. Rather than, like on earth, wiping out the dinosaurs and allowing some tiny mammals to thrive, this one wiped out everything. Creating a dead planet where nothing, not even microbes, could live. These huge tree root have been sitting here for millions of years, and they are not petrified, they are exactly as they were, because there is nothing to break them down. There is something beautifully haunting about wandering, cemetery like, through abandoned things. -
(((version 1)))
Looking down on the skeletal remains of tree roots on Exoplanet 67393. A day sitting on my ship, with that weight on me. That deep weight of the horrible worlds that takes so much effort to stand up against. The world below me is barren and lifeless. There is no one to blame for this. When life was just getting a foothold it was struck by an asteroid that was so large it changed the composition of this planet, killing everything. Even the microbes that make life. There are only a few places where there is a fleeting glimpse that there was once life on this planet. This is one of those glimpses. A photo taken from space, of tree roots that are millions of years old, but they are not petrified, they are exactly as they were when they died. There is nothing to break them down. No life at all. I could go down and visit this planet, but today, and maybe tomorrow, I’ll just curl up with my book, and maybe not have this weight soon. -
Beside Exoplanet 73547 there is a dust cloud orbiting where the fifth planet should be, or, technically, I guess it could be called an asteroid belt. Unlike the one surrounding earth, this one is made up of billions and billions of lumps of iron usually the size of a tennis ball. We don’t why this happened, but scientists are working on it. Anyway, because there is no oxygen in space, and the iron has, unaccountability, not been covered in dust, it’s shiny. The indigenous population on this planet looked up at the night sky and saw a sparkling flowing river. It became the central concept of their religion, moving on the night sky river from birth to death. Once they invented telescopes and spectrometers and found that it was just iron, some felt the romance had disappeared, but some felt it was even more beautiful.

[SPIRou + Wapiti => habitable exoplanet] Thanks to the #SPIRou infrared spectrometer on the #CFHT and the implementation of Wapiti, a new method for correcting #disturbances related to the #atmosphere, astronomers have detected an #exoplanet in the habitable zone of an M-type star—11.4 light-years from Earth.
Next-generation instruments will make it possible to determine whether this planet is rocky or not, and whether liquid water is part of its composition.

@nazokiyoubinbou @wonderofscience I think this will only occur if the tidally locked planet has a (large enough) moon.
Maybe someone has already looked into this question.
