| Discovery Notes | Soil sample taken on 9/12/2025 around 1:10 PM. The weather was sunny and slightly dry, soil dug a few inches under a crape myrtle outside planetary hall. I had forgotten the original soil sample I wished to bring at home, and quickly grabbed this. |
| Naming Notes | Named after the song, ‘Dr. Sunshine is Dead,” by musical artist Will Wood. The song was released on his 2016 album, “Self-ish,” and explores ideas of identity and the growth and change a person experiences. The song is not only catchy to me, but its messages and meaning resonate with me. |
