Future State: Green Lantern #1 (2021) // DC Comics
Assigned to map and contact new lifeforms past the 3,600 known sectors of space protected by the Green Lantern Corps, John Stewart and an elite team of Lanterns are trapped behind enemy lines and fighting for their lives when the Central Power Battery goes dark and leaves the entire corps defenseless.
“Along with all the squirrels and birds and bugs scurrying up and down and around trees, there are also tiny little tree tardigrades tucked into the watery drops inside moss and lichen that grow on the tree’s surface. They’re not actually called tree tardigrades, they’re called terrestrial tardigrades, because they live on land they’re a little bit different from the tardigrades we’ve shown here thus far.”
→ Ra was the egyptian god of the sun, order, kings, and the sky. All forms of life were believed to be created by Ra, and in some stories they were produced from Ra’s tears and sweat, hence why the Egyptians called “Cattle of Ra.”

From Wikipedia: NGC 346 is a youngopen cluster of stars with associated nebula located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that appears in the southern constellation of Tucana. It was discovered August 1, 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. J. L. E. Dreyer described it as, “bright, large, very irregular figure, much brighter middle similar to double star, mottled but not resolved”. On the outskirts of the cluster is the multiple star systemHD 5980, one of the brightest stars in the SMC.
This cluster is located near the center of the brightest H II region in the SMC, designated N66. This is positioned in the northeast section of the galactic bar. Stellar surveys have identified 230 massive OB stars in the direction of this cluster. 33 of the cluster members are O-type stars, with 11 of type O6.5 or earlier. The inner 15 pc radius of the cluster appears centrally condensed, while the area outside that volume is more dispersed. The youngest cluster members near the center have ages of less than two million years, and observations suggests the cluster is still engaged in high mass star formation. The cluster star formation rate is estimated at (4±1)×10−3M☉ yr–1.
