I don't think we need a required dementia test. I can't remember why but I'm sure we don't need one. Also I've got hairy legs that turn blond in the sun. Kids used to... Hey Jill, what's the name of the thing?

"THIS IS A BIG DEAL: Researchers discover water in expansive canyon on Mars. "Alexey Malakhov, a researcher at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences who co-authored a study on the findings, said in a statement that the unexpected amount of water is 'very much like Earth's permafrost regions.' Water in these regions is stored in ice that permanently persists under the dry soil because of cold temperatures, he said." "

"A European spacecraft orbiting Mars has identified a "water-rich area" about the size of the Netherlands in the heart of a canyon system"

"The discovery makes the Valles Marineris a promising area for future human exploration, according to the agency."

The goal of Operation Night Watch is the long-term preservation of the huge painting, which measures 14'4" wide x 11'11" high.

It is 717 gigapixels, or 717,000,000,000 pixels, in size.

The distance between two pixels is 5 micrometres (0.005 millimetre), which means that one pixel is smaller than a human red blood cell.

The team used a 100-megapixel Hasselblad H6D 400 MS-camera to make 8439 individual photos measuring 5.5cm x 4.1cm.

Artificial intelligence was used to stitch these smaller photographs together to form the final large image, with a total file size of 5.6 terabytes.
