Still here. 👋
And still more than 15 billion miles (24 billion km) away from Earth. It takes my team about 22.5 hours to send me a command and another 22.5 hours for my response to get back to them. That will continue to increase the further I travel into interstellar space. -V1

ALT A poster topped with the text "Layers of Climate Change: Issues and Solutions from Sky to Sea." The illustration depicts a vertical column of the Earth and its atmosphere, including clouds, forests, cities and the ocean. Each area includes a short description of how it contributes to climate change (and can contribute to preventing it) and a QR code that can be scanned for more information.

This is a cartoon we drew a while back for @PhysicsWorld about the similarities of physicists and cats, still feels pretty accurate although I think needs a 5th panel about their love of snacks #Physics #Cats
