It makes you think about space research. It’s amazing to make discoveries like this, but at the same time, we have problems here on Earth that need attention too, like climate change and social crises. People are out there spending money to figure out how plutonium got to the bottom of the ocean, while we still haven’t solved some basic stuff here. So, is this research really necessary, or is it just another excuse to focus on things way more distant from our daily lives?

Anyway, it’s a fascinating discovery.
