I was just recently up at Griffith Observatory. Starting off, Russ recalled a specific moment that exemplified just how often Star Trek: Voyager fans have brought up “Tuvix” to him: “Tuvix” came up while Tim Russ was chatting with The Ready Room host Will Wheaton about ( SPOILER ALERT) his appearance in the latest Star Trek: Picard episode, “Dominion,” as a Changeling disguised as Tuvok.

"It will simply find a starfield on its own and it will figure out where it is. Russ helped detect Patroclus using a Unistellar eVscope and eQuinox telescope, a computerized telescope with a built-in GPS that connects to any cellphone. …These primitive bodies hold vital clues to deciphering the history of the solar system, and perhaps even the origins of organic material on Earth."
