A small, frigid moon orbiting Saturn may have vast stores of liquid water that could sustain life, NASA revealed today.
The Cassini spacecraft has sent back images that show “Yellowstone-like geysers” on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Researchers have seen “icy jets and towering plumes” of particles being ejected from the moon’s surface at speed. While not certain, NASA believes that the best explanation for the geysers would be close to the surface reservoirs of liquid water.
“It appears we have all the ingredients that all the experts have claimed for a long time now, you would need to have environments suitable for living organisms,” said Carolyn Porco, a Cassini team leader. “And so, thatâ..s what we think we have here. We have found another environment in our solar system, in a very surprising place, that could host living organisms.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
