Great video!

What a weird setup.

I love all of this crazy stuff we've been finding recently. And not that this planet could support it, but I also love what this unexpected diversity in planetary bodies means for the possibility of weird and unpredictable formulas for life.

I hope we keep finding crazy stuff like this. I hope it accelerates. I hope we find life soon. I need it.

Hopefully we find evidence for post-great-filter life too…
