SPACEMAS DAY 2 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

There's a new space telescope in the sky: Euclid. Equipped with two large panoramic cameras, Euclid captures light from the visible all the way to the near-infrared. It took five hours of observing for Euclid's 1.2-meter diameter primary mirror to capture, the 1000+ galaxies in the Perseus cluster which lies 250 million light years away. More than 100,000 galaxies are visible in the background, some as far away as 10 billion light years. Euclid's initial surveys, covering a third of the sky and recording over 2 billion galaxies, will enable a study of how dark matter and dark energy have shaped our universe.

[...] while compartmentalization and replication are important, they are aspects of what life is and does, but they do not address the why of life. The why of life is metabolism. By completing the circuit of life, biology harnesses energy from its environment. Technically speaking, this means that biology actually helps the universe cool faster; it increases the entropy of the universe. This is why the universe needs life.
