#seed

When the Cranet people of Exoplanet 23584 first ground glass and invented telescopes, they looked up and saw the dots were planets. But they also saw millions of these strange white clusters floating between the first and second planet. Later they understood that they were frozen water, similar to Saturn’s Rings, but the perfect distance from the sun to warm and cool into spheres. It must have been winter when they named them Cleocran. Because that translates as Snowmen. #scifi #exoplanet #seed #fruit #nature #photography

On Exoplanet 09774 these seeds have gained the name of Walking Apples. Plants don’t walk, (well, except for Triffids) but these ones do, sort of. Once dropped from the branch, the ‘legs’ move the seed along the soil upwards of 10 meters. There are no birds to spread the seed on this planet, which is probably why they walk. The seeds mostly trundle along at night, although we don’t know why at night, or how they know it’s night, although the nights do normally last 37 earth hours. #scifi #exoplanet #seed #nature #photography #magicinthemundane
