Hey so did you know that the Mars rover Perseverance has an instrument called SHERLOC which is studying the composition of the soil, and an accompanying camera called WATSON that is documenting everything?

In 2024 they've been exploring somewhere called the "Beehive Geyser", except SHERLOC's cover got stuck (presumably resulting in grit affecting a sensitive instrument?)

I feel very normal about this.

Explore the universe together, guys.

The Angel On My Shoulder Goes By The Name Of Death

Preface: For the last day of mental health month, I wanted to share something I wrote that deals with some rather dark struggles. Struggles that I know others face as well. Struggles that I hope might be eased for just one person who reads this, even if only in the smallest way.

There is an angel who sits upon my shoulder who goes by the name of Death,

And though I cannot always see him, upon my neck I always feel his breath

As he whispers to me relentlessly, deftly using my soul’s own Shibboleth.

He is my phantasmagorical companion from which there has thus far been no escape,

One who has no single voice nor form yet is somehow always horrific in his shape

When my mind’s eye sees him lying in the darkest shadows of my brain's path-illogical landscape.

For while it may be hidden, we are locked in eternal battle, one to which we both are bound,

And though the clashes rage on deep within, the fighting furious and yet without a sound,

The hardest part is not the fighting, it is not knowing if there will be any respite to be found.

This war is one without casualties but still with victims–its battles waged within the mind–

But even having entreated aid from all my demons with any values I could trade in kind,

I have yet to even dream of any type of peace accords to which we would both agree to bind.

But what I have paid in pain to learn in this seemingly Sisyphean struggle is that one cannot sit idly by,

That every new assault of his is an opportunity for me to learn new tactics which I can in future then apply.

Thus I have vowed: Whatever new mental munitions he has in store for me, nor what deadly schemes I must yet defy–

Though I know, like you, I too will one day meet my end, it shall be he who will be the first of us to die.

Here's a bunch of sketches about "Perseverance" chapter 40!

"Perseverance" is a fanfiction written by: @pastelaspirations on AO3 :D

Here's Ink missing out on Error's birthday, and Error not really caring about it, because I liked this part♥️

This one is actually a theory I had about this fanfiction, at this point I'm 80% sure Ink and Error won't be adopting conveniently lost in the forest, parentless Paperjam, but I do like to think of 'what if' because man, first time, I saw Error showing some empathy to kids (mostly to his childhood trauma, but still), and now, in chapter 40, Ink being so worried over a poor kiddo, so.. yeah, I will keep liking this impossible theory of mine

Here's Dream having some trauma, I like this moment in the fic, it was pretty sad :D

HERE GOES HORROR! (In, probably, not canon to fanfiction clothes, because they weren't described yet) Soo, I'm so happy to see him appear in the fic, I was so happy when I realized who that was, and now I'm waiting for a new chapter, to find out more about him and MTT :D

It's a joke, really, I love their arguing-and-not-kissing dynamic. I also loved seeing Error's attempt to comfort Ink, when Ink was sad about the kid in chapter 40

And lastly, a random Error, because I draw a lot of random, senseless stuff👍

.

And yeah, I also loved the dog beasts from this chapter, I wanted to draw them but didn't yet :_)

Have a good day 👋👋👋👋

The imagination of a good artist or thinker is productive continually, of good, mediocre and bad things, but his power of judgement, sharpened and practised to the highest degree, rejects, selects, knots together; as we can now see from Beethoven's notebooks how the most glorious melodies were put together gradually and as it were culled out of many beginnings. [...] All the great artists have been great workers, inexhaustible not only in invention but also in rejecting, sifting, transforming, ordering.

How did you choose your Flight Director name?

[suliqyre]

The most important thing is not to give up… You have to keep observing, absorbing everything that happens, leaving nothing out. You have to keep asking questions and pushing your investigation of yourself and the world further, without end. You have to keep experimenting, attempting what has not been attempted, and going beyond whatever rules or beliefs you have accumulated.

Haven't seen anything about Ingenuity on tumblr yet, so I guess I'll make a post about it

Ingenuity (sometimes called Ginny) was an companion craft to Perseverance, one of the rovers currently on Mars. As opposed to any of the past rovers, however, Ingenuity was a rotorcraft intended to fly above Mars' surface.

After landing on Mars in February of 2021 and completing its first flight on April 19th, 2021, Ingenuity became the first aircraft to fly on another planet. Its original goal was only 5 flights, but it well surpassed that number, logging 72 flights with over two hours of in-air time.

On January 18th, 2024, Ingenuity lost contact with Perseverance midway through a flight, and a few days later, NASA had confirmation that the rotors were damaged, leaving Ingenuity incapable of flight.

So long, Ingenuity. You did so much <3

y'all i just learned that the spot where Genny (Ingenuity, the little helicopter that went to Mars on Perseverance) had her last hard landing that snapped a rotor blade?

They named the spot Valinor Hills.

I fucking can't. I'm crying over the Mars robots again.

Difference between the wheels of Curiosity and Perseverance mars rovers.

After seeing the wear and tear Curiosity's wheels endured while driving over sharp Martian rocks, engineers redesigned Perseverance's to be more robust. They're narrower, with a bigger diameter and thicker aluminum.
