This is how this Mexican woman experienced being an astronaut
For five days, Julieth Contreras Venegas experienced what it would be like to live on Mars. The mechatronics engineering student from the School of Engineering and Sciences at Tec de Monterrey’s Sonora Campus participated in the Mars Habitat project.
Together with four other students she explored a volcano, nursed a greenhouse, conducted research for future space missions, and much more.
The student tells Tec Review how she discovered that space engineering was her passion and mentions the upcoming international projects in which she will represent Mexico.
Analog astronaut: life as it could be
An analog astronaut is someone who lives in locations on Earth that simulate the conditions of humans living on the Moon or Mars.
Julieth was invited to live and survive under a strict routine based on diet, exercise, and research activities.
A day in the life of an astronaut
The daily routine consisted of getting up at six in the morning, getting dressed, keeping records of measurements such as blood pressure and weight, exercising (in addition to other activities such as coloring mandalas or painting planets), going to pick fruit and vegetables in the garden to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner and then completing an assigned task.
This was how 20-year-old, Julieth Contreras Venegas spent a typical day on the Mars Habitat analog space station, on mission 121, which took place from May 26 to 31 of this year.
During the week of the experience, each crew member had an assigned task to coordinate with the others.
Julieth was the director of research projects.
While carrying out “extravehicular activities” which were what they called the expeditions outside the station, they had to go out with a special suit and helmet.
They walked for two hours to explore the Pico do Cabugi volcano, taking rock samples to analyze its composition. They visited Lake Ceres, conducted astronomical and satellite observations, helped tend to the farm, and contributed to the construction of a new shelter for future crew members.
Tumblr media
As part of their tasks, the crew helped build a shelter, putting up doors, solar panels, and walls. Spending almost all day on that activity, they made it back to the station by dinner time
International congress participation
As the research project director at Mars Habitat, Julieth –along with her colleagues– proposed topics that contribute knowledge to space exploration for real missions.
They were able to do some research, as there was a library and internet access at the station. The topics proposed included one on horticulture, another on the relevance of missions and how space technology contributes to improving life on Earth, and another on how people’s perception of the planet changes when they travel to space.
If approved, the Tec de Monterrey student will attend the International Astronautical Congress in Paris, France, in September to present her research results.
Simulating the Moon’s conditions
Julieth Contreras was also selected to participate in a mission that will simulate living conditions on the Moon. It’s the Analogue Astronaut Training Center in Krakow, Poland.
In this habitat, all the activities will be inside the station, since both the CO2 levels and the temperature will be similar to the lunar environment.
“At the end of the mission, some experiments will be carried out on flights that achieve microgravity. It’s great to be able to test your research projects in those conditions.”
Vocation for space engineering
Julieth said that when she was a child, she played at being her dolls’ teacher, explaining science topics to them and telling them that they had to get on a spaceship to save humanity because life on Earth was no longer viable.
Mathematics and physics were always easy for her, so she knew that she wanted to study something related to science since middle school, but along the way she encountered some challenges. She also switched from studying medicine.
“I attended classes for three weeks, but I decided to switch to mechatronics. Studying electronics, mechanics, and programming has helped me a lot.”
After graduating, she wants to study for a graduate degree in aerospace engineering.
She dedicates this message to women who want to be engineers:
“Find the path you like the most and that makes you happy. “There will always be challenges, but don’t let them change your goals. Find a way to turn the situation around. If you are persistent, you will reach the goal.”

Everything You Need to Know About Crystals: Chrysoprase
The Stone of Venus
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Requested by @acovenoftwo
Chemical Formula:  SiO2
Color: Apple green, lemon
Rarity: Easy to obtain as a tumble stone, finer quality is expensive
Hardiness: 7
Type: Chalcedony
Chakra Association: Heart and Solar Plexus
Deities: Venus
Birthstone: May
Astrological Signs: Gemini, Taurus
Element: Water
Planet: Mercury
Origin: Formerly Poland, Now Australia, Brazil, Madagascar, Russia, Tanzania, USA
Powers: Encouraging development, Compassion, Tolerance, Growth, Forgiveness, Connection to Nature
Crystals It Works Well With: Mountain “jade”, Tourmaline, Smokey Quartz
How It is Created: Chrysoprase is a type of chalcedony quartz with a microcrystalline structure. Its color comes from nickel deposits, and it can be found in pale shades through to brighter green. Raw pieces have a granular appearance, similar to pieces of coconut, and a waxy sheen when polished.
History: Chrysoprase, called Stone of Venus because in antiquity it represented the goddess of divine love, the famous Venus, is a magnificent apple-green nickeliferous chalcedony belonging to the family of microcrystalline quartz. The ancient Egyptians also used chrysoprase for practical purposes such as sealing letters, but they would also wear pendants, amulets and other jewelry made of chrysoprase. For hundreds of years, the only major source of chrysoprase was a region of southwestern Poland between the Czech Republic and Germany, formerly known as Lower Silesia. This area has a complex geology and is extremely rich in all kinds of mineral deposits, including gold, silver, serpentine, quartz, marble, granite, alabaster—and chrysoprase. Stone artifacts from as far back as the Iron Age show the long history of Silesian carving and masonry. In the eighteenth century, Frederick II, King of Prussia (now part of Germany), conquered Lower Silesia. In particular, he wanted its deposits of green chrysoprase, which he used to decorate the halls of his favorite palace at Potsdam near Berlin.
What It Can Do:
Known as the healer of the heart space and helps connect you with infinite supply of compassion and love
Supports cardiac health and provides a centered peace
Helps people suffering from melancholy and manifests optimism and joy
Can be placed by homegrown herbs and vegetables to boost production
Perfect to artist as it increases creativity and talent
Encourages fidelity, forgiveness, compassion, and nonjudgmental thinking in relationships, while banishing greed and selfishness
Helps with inducing deep meditative states and promotes the love of truth
Calming and nonegotistical, creating openness in new situations
Stimulates fluent speech and mental dexterity, preventing you from speaking out unthinkingly in anger
Lifts oppressive and recurrent images, preventing nightmares, especially in children
Is said to detoxify heavy metals in one’s body and stimulate liver function
Is said to enhance fertility, reverse effects of infertility that are caused by infection and guard against STIs
Increases the absorption of Vitamin C
How to Get the Best Out Of: Wear as a necklace, bracelet, earrings or even use it in an elixir. Carrying chrysoprase for long periods attunes to the devic realm, a band of frequency found present on Earth which can connect you to nature and the planet directly
How to Cleanse and Charge: Can be cleansed briefly under running water then recharged overnight among a host of rock crystals for a few weeks. Cleanse during a rain shower for optimized cleansing,
Crystal Grid:
Healing for Children (Nightmares)
Shape: Fruit of Life
• 6 “issue” or calming stones
• 4 grounding crystals
• 2 light-bringing crystals
1. Hold your crystals in your hands and state your intention for the grid.
2. Lay the central keystone to represent your child.
3. Lay six crystals around the keystone to assist with the challenge or issue. (These crystalscan either represent a single issue, or different ones—whichever feels best to you. However,it may be more effective to address separate issues by laying individual grids.)
4. Lay four grounding crystals to anchor the grid at each corner of the “square.”
5. Lay a light-bringing crystal at the top and bottom.
6. Leave in place until the issue or issues have been resolved, remembering to cleanse thegrid regularly.
Crystals to use: Chrysoprase, Amethyst, Prehnite, Bloodstone

Geology Facts with Kail!
Ok, so I'm very likely to not be the only one who saw this, but the petrified orange that Stede finds and ends up splitting with his daughter? Not a real petrified orange (unsurprising I'm sure). But it *is* super cool still because it is a Thunder Egg!
Now what is a Thunder Egg? From a geology standpoint, they are a type of agate that resembles a geode (agate being a solid rock thing and geode usually being the sparkly hollow ones). These, like all agates, can actually be traced back to the bed/area they were found in based on appearance (and probably chemical/science stuff). If I had to guess the one used in the show is from is actually from Canada (based on some pictures and the fact that the thunder egg I own is Canadian and looks quite close).
Thunder Eggs can also be found, in two major locations in Australia, Germany, Poland, Romania, Ethiopia, Argentina, Mexico, Turkey, and one specific mountain in France. And most famously (according to google) you can find several different types of Thunder Eggs in the state of Oregon, US. Some of these ones are named by the ranch they were found in because they vary so much between locations there.
Anywho, here's my Thunder Egg as proof I think I know what I'm talking about 💜

Bagieniec village lies on the line of the Tertiary Bagieniec-Paszowice fault, which is the north-western border of the Strzegom - Sobótka granite massif. Strzelnica hill, towering over the village, is the raised wing of this fault, built of the Paleozoic granite intrusion of Carboniferous age. The depressed part in which Bagieniec is located belongs to the Roztoka-Mokrzeszów Graben, filled with sediments of the Tertiary and Quaternary period.
Tumblr media
The outcrops of Strzelnica hill show granite rocks called the Strzegom granite and products of their weathering.

Please show us your nesting doll and polish fashion doll 🙏 (if you want)
(in reference to this post)
My painted ladies! The biggest matroyshka is about 7.5" tall and they get all the way down to about 1/4 of an inch. They were a gift from my aunt and uncle when I was little; my uncle was a geology professor (retired) and used to go to Poland once a year for something career related. They'd bring back matching cultural gifts for me and my cousins every time, so each of my cousins got nesting doll sets of the same quality and size but with different designs. I suspect I'm the only one of us who still has theirs.

I haven't been able to find the fashion doll, so I assume as the most humanoid, articulated doll in the house, she's begun the hunt.

I put way too much thought into my fic and now my plate is loaded with the following in order to even fucking write it:
-research the history of Poland/Lithuania from 1600s to the mid 1800s
-research what the hell mushrooms even are
-research the basic geology of Minnesota
-write a philosophical essay about fungi and the nature of being your own creation that cannot share the truth of being as you are with anything else because you're NOT anything else and truth itself can only ever be subjective
-learn what the fuck a LAN is

Eurovision opinions! I liveblogged the whole thing, but this is just a masterpost for my thoughts on each song, partially so I can remember later which ones I liked!
Czech Republic Lights Off - We Are Domi It’s not a bad song by any means, but I just found it okay.  Kinda catchy, but kinda generic.
Romania Llámame - WRS Love the outfits, pretty catchy, pretty gay.  Not bad!
Portugal Saudade, Saudade - MARO For a ballad this is nice.  I like their voices a lot and the vibe is very peaceful.  I still want more craziness, but I definitely don’t mind this one.
Finland Jezebel - The Rasmus My people!  Love it.  I never know my heritage would include hard rock but you know what, I’m here for it.
Switzerland Boys Do Cry - Marius Bear Honestly... I took a bathroom break during this song.  I love that it’s against toxic masculinity but such a slow ballad >.>
France Fulenn -  Alvan & Ahez Wow.  This is not at all what I was expecting from France, its pretty fire tbh.  Surprisingly good.
Norway Give that Wolf a Banana - Subwoolfer This is honestly a much catchier song than I expected given the weird ass gifs I’ve been seeing.  Still weird AF but I might actually listen to this lmao
Armenia Snap - Rosa Linn Honestly this sounds like something I might listen to normally, I like it.  Not really feeling the ESC vibe, but it’s a decent song.  
Italy Brividi - Mahmood & BLANCO Can’t say I’m a fan of this one tbh.
Spain Slomo - Chanel Idk maybe I’m the wrong kind of gay but I expected more from a song that “gives the gays everything they want” besides some thongs and raunchy dancing. 
Netherlands De Diepte - S10 Eh.  Boring ballad.  Sorry Netherlands.
Ukraine Stefania - Kalush Orchestra Well that was not what I was expecting but I like it!  Takes the vibes from last year and puts it into a new genre.  Catchy AF.
Germany Rockstars - Malik Harris Not a terrible song, but again, fairly generic.  It’s okay. I can’t not hear “farst” instead of “fast” though lol
Lithuania Sentimentai - Monika Liu It was fine.  Can’t get over that hair though lmao
Azerbaijan Fade to Black -  Nadir Rustamli Nice voice.  So slow though.  I can’t.  Starting to fall asleep.
Belgium Miss You -  Jérémie Makiese I appreciate the aesthetic and I love that he studied geology.  Not a fan of the song though.
Greece Die Together -  Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord Nice voice, but eh.  
Iceland Með Hækkandi Sól - Systur I wish I understood the lyrics.  Really like the vibes.
Moldova Trenulețul -  Zdob şi Zdub & Advahov Brothers Oh hell yes.  As usual, Moldova brings prime Eurovision mood.  Love it.
Sweden Hold Me Closer - Cornelia Jakobs I truly love her look and shes got a good voice.  But I’m just fed up with ballads at this point and I know there’s more so I’m just kind of not paying attention by this point.
Australia Not The Same - Sheldon Riley Another ballad.  This guy really does have an incredible voice and the song is beautiful.  Crazy outfit, love that.
UK Space Man - Sam Ryder Love the hair.  Song is meh.
Poland River - Ochman Another ballad?!  good god.  In terms of ballads, it was decent.  But I’m tired of ballads.
Serbia In Corpore Sano - Konstrakta That was... interesting.   I honestly have no idea what else to say about it.
Estonia Hope - Stefan It was okay.  Kinda boring pop number.  He’s cute and I like the sorta western vibe, but a lackluster ending to the songs.

Granted, the following only have temporary labels due to further work yet to be done for the whole project "backend" (especially the linguistics and overtly immersive parts of it all). I am still iterating with some Civilization 5 & Stellaris playthroughs as baseline inspo, alongside a couple textual referee documents to assist this "frontend" of sorts.
