In my view from the @Space_Station, the Caspian Sea is one of the most captivating features on our planet, with its swirling, pastel colors reminiscent of Claude Monet’s palette casting an otherworldly glow. It also happens to be the world’s largest inland body of water, and has a salinity about 1/3 that of average ocean water. Like Great Salt Lake, the Caspian Sea hosts a unique ecosystem, serving as the primary habitat for beluga and sturgeon fishes, the source of the world’s finest caviar. Which one is your favorite view? #EarthArt

Disclosure Day deals with what would be a pivotal event in history: the moment conclusive evidence arrives of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. The movie pits sinister military-industrial forces that hide and control the information against those who strive to reveal the truth. Researchers involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) have long realized this moment—if it ever arrives outside cinemas—is going to be fraught with emotion, confusion, and possible danger. To get a jump on such events, the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) convened a permanent committee of SETI experts. In 1989, the committee drew up a set of “postdetection protocols,” nonbinding guidelines for what scientists and their institutions should do when the time comes. Science spoke with IAA’s SETI Permanent Committee Chair Michael Garrett, a radio astronomer at the University of Manchester, about the committee’s latest revision to the protocols, and what he thinks might happen on “disclosure day.” Learn more: scim.ag/43vJyha
