Description
X Is For Xenology by Kathy K. McClellan is an image created for Day 55 of the Journal 2022 Challenge, a 365 day Personal Art Challenge. This is a square image with a black border.
My journal entries for February 2022 include upper case (capital) letters of the Modern English Alphabet as well as a description that relays information on the word chosen for that day's letter. These letters are created from used wine corks.
X is the twenty fourth letter of the Modern English Alphabet and is being created and uploaded on the twenty fourth day of the month.
What is xenology?
(1) Genetics: Homology from horizontal gene transfer
(2) Science Fiction: The study of extraterrestrial life.
The second definition appears to be the more popular definition. I actually found a website devoted to xenology with links that access the contents of an entire book about xenology.
Since X is for the unknown in mathematics I think xenology as the study of extraterrestrial life is an appropriate definition.
I'm pretty sure I won't be doing any xenology today!
