Ganymede May Harbor ‘Club Sandwich’ Of Oceans And Ice

Ganymede May Harbor ‘Club Sandwich’ Of Oceans And Ice

Ganymede May Harbor ‘Club Sandwich’ of Oceans and Ice

The largest moon in our solar system, a companion to Jupiter named Ganymede, might have ice and oceans stacked up in several layers like a club sandwich, according to new NASA-funded research that models the moon’s makeup.

Previously, the moon was thought to harbor a thick ocean sandwiched between just two layers of ice, one on top and one on bottom.

“Ganymede’s ocean might be organized like a Dagwood sandwich,” said Steve Vance of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., explaining the moon’s resemblance to the “Blondie” cartoon character’s multi-tiered sandwiches. The study, led by Vance, provides new theoretical evidence for the team’s “club sandwich” model, first proposed last year. The research appears in the journal Planetary and Space Science.

Torment my muse with questions. About their past, about their regrets, their unanswered hopes. Make my muse squirm.

“Merci, Monsieur.” Callisto grinned; their pronunciations weren’t perfect, they knew, but the encouragement felt nice. 

“Where’d you learn French, anyways? Did you go to France or something?” They asked, pulling out their pencil to absently twirl it around their fingers. They knew Gaster was old--very old. Someone so old must’ve done some rather amazing things in their life.

He’d... He’d must’ve seen a lot of things Callisto had only read about.

Gaster nodded, pleased that they’d caught on rather quickly. The bio-luminescent flora beneath them, true to their name sake, echoed back to them as if praising the child’s success. 

“Oui. You’re a quick learner, young one. It took myself quite some time to pronounce even a simple phrase like that correctly.” The monster’s throatier accent, though now fine tuned after years of practice, had taken time to adjust to the silken flow of the language. 

Pride swelled in his soul, twinkling on his smile like the gems high above. “ Très bien. Very good.”

Fluffy OTP starters!

A fort for cuddling: Our muses build a blanket fort together! With balloons, lights, and various pillows… they relax within together and cuddle to their hearts content.

I’ll catch you when you fall: Our muses go ice-skating together! One muse, however, is a little too wobbly and falls over… but the other muse catches them within their arms just in time.

A picnic in the park: Our muses have a picnic by a pond together! Spring is arriving, which means flowers are blooming and it’s the perfect weather to relax outdoors together. They could even feed the ducks together!

My inner thoughts of you: Our muses both sit down and write love letters to each other. They then exchange them to see what’s deep within the others heart!

Out in the water: Our muses decide to do something romantic, and one of them suggests they take a moonlight canoe ride together! There’s nothing more romantic than being under the stars alone with the one you love.

Our childish side: Our muses decide to be a little childish and take a trip to the park together! Together, they sit on the swings and push each other… they could even climb the monkey bars, slide down slides, or play a fun game of tag. Adults can let loose and have fun, too!

Splish splash: Our muses decide to have a little fun in the water on a hot day! Whether it’s going to the beach together, swimming in a pool, or running around in sprinklers in their backyard… they have lots of fun in the sun together.

Rub a dub dub, otp in the tub: Our muses decide to bathe together! A shower or a sweet bubble bath… it’s your choice! They could cuddle, splash water on each other, chat, make beards/hats out of bubbles, or something more! The point is, they’re bonding and relaxing together and simply enjoying each others presence. 

Let’s play a game: Our muses play a game together! They could cheat, fuss about how they’re losing, or just have good ol’ fun together! Board games like twister or monopoly… or even video games like streetfighter! Why spend time outdoors when you can have fun inside too?

Warm with you: Our muses cuddle by a fire with a big fluffy blanket on a rainy night. They could drink warm tea, discuss their feelings or future plans, or even read a nice book together. 

Let’s bake: Our muses bake together! Whether they do this seriously or not is up to you. They could either succeed and bake the perfect cake together, or they could get distracted by throwing flour at each other and burn it! Good thing you have smoke alarms installed.

I’m a princess, you’re a prince: Our muses play pretend! Sure, they might be adults… but who cares? They could dress in costumes, make roles, build fake castles and forts out of pillows… go wild!

A trip to the mall: Our muses go to the mall together! In a place like this, there are various things to together.They could try on clothes, eat at food stands, ride the carousel together, or even do something crazy like visit a mall salon and dye their hair a crazy together!

A song for you: Our muses go to a karaoke bar together! Paying to have a private booth together, they could sing and dedicate romantic songs together and drink some alcohol! It doesn’t matter if they can’t sing… it’s the thought that counts! They could even get a little crazier with the song choices as the alcohol slowly starts taking effect. Is eye of the tiger romantic?

A ride in the rain: Our muses take a romantic bike ride in the rain! Sure you might get sick afterwards, but at least you can cuddle inside together, have  warm drink and nurse each other back to good health! It’d be a good memory, too.

Romantic setting: Our muses watch the sunset together! What’s more to say? Push each other into a nearby river if it makes it more fun.

Lipstick, polish and ribbons: Our muses to each others hair, makeup, and nails! Is the muse a boy or girl who hates girls thing? Who cares. Do it anyway. And if they do enjoy it, then it gives you more of a reason to do it! The makeup doesn’t have to be perfect, either… you could even give them an outrageous look if you’d like!

Close your eyes and come close: Our muses watch a scary movie together - at home or the movie theater is your choice! One could be scared and grab the other for comfort… or they could both be scared and both cling for comfort! Either way, it’d be a lovely way to bond and get your pants scared off!

Fair: Our muses go to the fair! They could get cotton candy, get scared or sick on rides together, and eat various deep fried treats! One could even win the other that big stuffed animal they want but just can’t win because they SUCK at games. Win them the giant rainbow unicorn - they deserve it.

Let’s run away together: Our muses decide to take a little romantic getaway - you choose the place! Italy, Paris, Greece… there’s many lovely places to go with you and your lover to see new sights, try new food, and even rent a little hotel room. For, you know, activities.

Open the window: One muse decides to play romeo and throw rocks at the others window! They’ll even get  boombox and hold it above their head to get their attention. Whether the other muse finds this annoying, creepy, or romantic is up to you.

A tune for you: One muse writes a song for the other and decides to play it! It could be totally amazing, or totally… just, awful… please, stop singing. But the gesture in itself is sweet! So you won’t say anything if it sucks.

A dream come true: One muse surprises the other with something they’ve always wanted! It could be a puppy, a car, that oh-so-fabulous top they always wanted… or even something more special like a piece of jewelry, tickets to their favorite game/country, or a proposal! Whatever they want, you got it. Unless its a billion dollars, then maybe not.
