<the lizard beams with that> Oh then you are in the right room all right. Mambi's got some amazing telescopes here, plus that rift over there is literally another universe. <he points with his tail to the roped-off rift> It's fascinating to see what happens in different environments, isn't it? Different physics, different chemistry, amazing results.
Why just the other day I was looking at a planet circling a black hole instead of a star, and since the energy output is ultraviolet and X-ray primarily, all the plants have developed a high-energy chlorophyll equivalent, so the leaves are black and purple instead of green, and the plants are huge! It was quite amazing to see the forests and fields on that world. Another one I saw had a high-gravity planet, so all the plants were stronger than steel! There, a daily growing under a vehicle toppled it overnight...lifted it just like a car jack!
<the lizard blushes a little> Oh sorry, my interest is primary exobiology so I get excited discussing it. But yes, I love exploring new places too...
