- [Parson] I was looking forward to seeing this play from the A22 angles. Play action w/ a 2-man route combo. Byron Murphy maintains outside leverage. He closes the space, tracks/locates, & undercuts the ball. DJax drifted upfield & Murphy makes a great play. #RedSea https://twitter.com/dp_nfl/status/1445561209936355328?s=21 30 comments nfl
- If bacteria band together, they can survive for years in space. Dead outer bacteria protected inner ones in clumps attached to the International Space Station for years, suggesting microbes might be able to drift among planets, spreading life through the universe https://www.sciencenews.org/article/space-bacteria-band-together-survival-years-astrobiology?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=r_science 774 comments science
- The Spitzer Space Telescope will be shut down this week after 16 years of service. But unlike Hubble, which will burn up in our atmosphere after it's eventually put down, Spitzer will sail past Earth in about 50 years before drifting off into space for eternity. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2020/01/spitzer-is-about-to-retire-what-will-happen-to-it 38 comments worldnews

- Analysis of Martian meteorites has uncovered 90 million years' worth of new information. Nakhites, pieces of Martian terrain which were blasted from the face of the red planet by an impact event 11 million years ago, then drifted through space before landing on Earth. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00513-8 4 comments science
- Dawn Spacecraft Images Reveal "Ice Rinks" on Ceres - The presence of exposed ice on Ceres would be a surprise, because ice should be unstable on the dwarf planet’s airless surface, turning from a solid into a gas and drifting into space rather than sticking around. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dawn-spacecraft-images-reveal-ice-rinks-on-ceres/ 18 comments worldnews
- The billion-euro Herschel space telescope has been switched off. Controllers on Monday emptied the satellite's fuel tanks and commanded the observatory to sever all communications. The "passivated" spacecraft is now in a slow drift around the Sun, about 2.14 million km from Earth. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22914076 39 comments space
