@futurebird On the way to this conclusion, I spent some time thinking about a slightly different question: Things that are "Interesting" rather than "Weird". Conclusions:

1. This (the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is a triangle made of lasers, 2.5 million kilometers on each side. It will be going up in 2035. We (the species) will at that point have created THE LARGEST TRIANGLE IN THE UNIVERSE. The most perfect platonic form is not currently physically real, but we will have made it real. Why did we do this? SO WE CAN MEASURE VIBRATIONS IN THE FABRIC OF SPACE. That is eldrich horror shit! That is a typical Eldrich Horror Species Activity! Building giant triangles as an eardrum to listen to the imperfections of space. WE ARE THE OLD ONES. Also, this would already exist if it were not for George W. Bush.

  Earth rocks could have taken life to Titan
  from @newscientist
  New computer simulations show that a major asteroid impact on Earth could send dozens of boulders to Saturn's moon – with a relatively soft landing too

  Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
  The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a planned space probe to detect and accurately measure gravitational waves—tiny ripples in the fabric of spacetime—from astronomical sources. LISA will be the first dedicated space-based gravitational-wave observatory. It aims to measure gravitational waves directly by using laser interferometry. The LISA concept features three spacecraft arranged in an equilateral triangle with each side 2.5 million kilometers long, flying in an Earth-like heliocentric orbit.
