When I see those endless background galaxies in those images, I kind of lose my mind that each is a hundred billion stars which have existed for billions of years, and the light has taken billions of years to reach us, and there might have been life there, and hundreds of civilisations might have come and gone, and 30 pixels on an image detector is the first and possibly only time we'll know about that galaxy. And there are like 200 in that tiny closeup.

also xp they found dimethyl sulphide on one of the comet nuclei they visited, which couldn't have supported life, so it's in doubt as a marker of biological processes.
