I see silicate! Mars silicate! I want to tumble it! Lemme polish that alien silicate!
A photo of some rocks.
But they're rocks on Mars.
They were photographed today.
And only a few hours later you're looking at them on your phone.

I just discovered fantastic software for viewing procreate files on your windows desktop. I back all my files up onto my desktop but it meant i can never find anything ever because I tend to do many pictures in one file.
This allows layer browsing!

Deep below glaciers and ice sheets is pressure-melted 0°C water, thriving with life. But where does it get its energy from?

Mechanochemical reactions at the surface of crushed silicate rocks in water release hydrogen, which feeds chemotrophic bacteria.
