A study published Nov. 6 in The Planetary Science Journal examines how NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has conducted a first-time detection of carbon dioxide in a centaur, this one designated 39P/Oterma. A centaur is a small planetary body that orbits between Jupiter and Neptune and frequently crosses the orbits of one or more of the gas giant planets within our solar system.
I can imagine the '50s B-movie poster already.
Blonde woman in an astronaut suit (no helmet, obvs), beautiful face clearly shown expressing her awe, riding the back of a centaur and clutching his muscled human half as he’s trotting over a planet or moon.
Also, he’s aiming a bow with a laser arrow at a space monster.
(Jesus, did I just write an AI prompt? Also, half of that works for a centaur romance novel as well.)
I think you’ve got the makings of a retro pulp webcomic right there. :)
Tina Belcher would be proud.
