A blurry image of of a giant cliff
There is a 20 km high cliff on Uranus' moon, Miranda. Because of the low gravity, if you jumped off it, it would take 12 minutes to reach the bottom.

HEY THAT'S US! (I'm second author in Czaplinski et al. 2021)
Hey man, are you a region of enhanced potassium, phosphorous and rare earth elements on the Moon?
Because you're a bit of a KREEP.
Clearly you were only rejected because you paid the student rate instead of professional.
SHOCKINGLY my abstract for LPSC 2026 was not accepted
She is once she warms up to you, but I still reserve the right to judge people by how they treat strangers.
I'm curious who else is taking the @europlanetmedia.bsky.social GMAP Winter School this week!
It would be nice to connect with fellow students, since our interaction online seems limited.
Spent 15 mins this morning trying to figure out the Perseverance rover's preferred pronouns to no avail.
She/Her, or They/Them?
The blank wasn't blank.
AND, they are hiring (1 PhD, 1-2 Post-docs) for next year. 👀 #EPSCDPS2025
Megafloods and ice streams create similar landform expressions - did either create Martian outflow channels?
Anna Grau Galofre's team is asking this question. #EPSCDPS2025
There are ore-grade nickel deposits in Neretva Vallis, near Jezero crater, Mars. #EPSCDPS2025
A greyscale delta on Mars. Colours are used to highlight inverted channels and delta lobes by relative age, blue being the oldest, pink the youngest.
Noémie Carlot presented an absolutely stunning map of Eberswalde delta fan, Mars. Look at all those lobes showing channel migration!
The river sediments were more resistant to erosion than the surrounding layers, creating intricate inverted channels. #EPSCDPS2025 #Mars

A very succinct summary of Christian's talk today at #EPSCDPS2025 on our work studying the effects of perchlorates on meteoritic organics 👇
#Relatable
The presence of perchlorate alters organic compounds, but does not erase them - laboratory experiments on C12 acids

3 things ahout Apophis we have to communicate as science community:
1) Apophis will safely pass the Earth
2) Apophis will safely pass the Earth
3) Apophis will safely pass the Earth

Image from the Huygenss lander. It is a hazy, orange/beige tinted landscape and horizon with rounded rocks in the foreground and background.
Friendly reminder that we've landed a spacecraft on Titan!
This photo was taken by the Huygens lander (Image: ESA/NASA).

Dragonfly Science Goals paraphrased fr Barnes et al. 2021:
How far has probiotic chemistry progressed on Titan?
What role do the deserts play in the methane cycle?
What are the transport mechanisms?
Where and how has liquid H2O been in contact with organics?
IS THERE LIFE ON TITAN?

NASA reviews are conducted using Dual Anonymous Peer Review, meaning you don't need to depend on name-recognition when submitting grant proposals.
You may need to be at a US-based institution, though.

TIL: ESA funding costs the average European €14 per year.

Questioner: Have you gone back?
Speaker: We'd love to, but it's very challenging to get there.
Questioner: I've been there.
OK has every scientist even remotely related to astrobiology or paleoclimate been to Axel Heiberg Island??
~*Axel Heiberg Island mentioned*~ in the Astrobiology session. #EPSCDPS2025
I was there with Mark Fox-Powell, just outside this image.
All that white stuff? Not snow! It's salts!
I'm sadly not there in person this year. I missed the abstract deadline and couldn't justify the trip.
Keep your eye out for new QGIS plugins for Hayabusa data, being developed by Mayumi Ichikawa and team at NTT DATA Corporation, in partnership with JAXA. #EPSCDPS2025
Does Callisto have an undifferentiated ice shell? If so, it might behave like salt tectonics(!) on Earth, or ice tectonics on Ceres. #EPSCDPS2025
There is a salt-rich layer at the base of Europa's ice crust, concentrating in fractures at the ice-ocean interface. #EPSCDPS2025
