I have never seen such a concentration of kind, interesting people, cool things to learn about, and dopamine supply in my life. Y'all are fabulous. #mastodon
When an exoplanet passes between its host star and us, the star's light is filtered by the exoplanet's atmosphere, each molecule leaving a different imprint.
Similarly, during a lunar #eclipse like the one on Nov 7-8, sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the Moon. We can thus use lunar eclipses to find clues of life on Earth, which will hopefully help us identify life elsewhere. I wrote about it here:

I (and a host of other science and non-science folks) am going to be in the new Cosmic Shambles Network documentary, “Rapid Motion Through Space: An Incomplete History of Speed”, which is released next year. Check out the trailer here! 🤓 https://youtu.be/6HPhhbDjZyQ
