This paper has TOF mass spec data of ejected plume material from Saturn’s E ring / icy moon Enceladus (acquired at 18 km/s velocity— how’s that for collision energy 👀). I think it is pretty awesome! #teammassspec #chemsky

Detection of organic compounds in freshly ejected ice grains from Enceladus’s ocean - Nature Astronomy

Fresh ice grains from Enceladus’s plume were analysed during the highest-speed fly-by of the Cassini spacecraft. Organic compounds with a range of chemical structures were discovered, suggesting comprehensive subsurface chemistry on Enceladus.

A new study (Huang et al. www.thieme-connect.de/products/ejo...) tested 329 reactions and found almost no difference in yield between stirred and unstirred conditions, even at kilo scale and for eChem!
