Most of the time biologicals will appear in relatively small patches which are visible from very low altitude or on the ground, but large swaths of tussock like this one aren’t unheard of. I felt the urge to run through the grass and leap with my jetpack. Taken on Phae Aihm XO-Z d13-0 B 4 b.

Earth-like worlds out in very deep space are a rare sight. They also pay quite well when you turn in the mapping data for them, especially if like this one you are the first to discover and map them. Looking down on the blue oceans and visible land masses I can’t help but wonder what the weather is like on the surface as I swing by in a very high orbit. Taken above Phae Aihm XO-Z d13-6.

The osseus biologicals appear on rocky parts of generally flat lands, and I haven’t seen many of this particular variant in my travels. The detailed channels on its surface are impressive. I’ve seen another type of this variant with a surface that looked like solar panels or stained glass. How long does it take to grow to this size? How long will it live? We explorers don’t know. We can only scan it and bring the data back to Vista Genomics for study. Taken on Phae Aihm ZJ-X c28-2 4 f.

Week 6 of the expedition ran from February 17th to the 23rd.
