Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:
1. Create a new $15B science fund
2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada
3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years

74 exocomet belts were found orbiting nearby stars in landmark survey. The observations were made using microwave/millimeter wave telescopes; the resulting images show the belts as bright rings circling the stars at various angles.
A reminder that humans are capable of great acts of wonder when we work together & embrace knowledge.
An international team of astronomers has discovered swarms of cold comets circling 74 nearby stars -- and got clear pictures of these "exocomet belts." 🧪🔭
