مستخلص: Inside a featureless concrete building tucked away on the sprawling site of National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Ames Research Center south of San Francisco, California, Ralph Lorenz is making weird waves. He is summoning up lines of tiny breakers in a small tank, a Californian beach in miniature, except that his waves are aliens—replicas of slow-moving giants that march across a hydrocarbon sea on a freezing world over a billion kilometres away. Lorenz is a scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
