NASA's Ingenuity helicopter can be seen here with all four of its legs deployed before dropping from the belly of the Perseverance rover on March 30th, the 39th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This image was taken by the WATSON (Wide Angle Topographic Sensor for Operations and eNgineering) camera on the SHERLOC (Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals) instrument, located at the end of the rover's long robotic arm.

An Exploding Star 65 Light-Years Away From Earth May Have Triggered a Mass Extinction
Life was trying, but it wasn't working out. As the Late Devonian period dragged on, more and more living things died out, culminating in one of the greatest mass extinction events our planet has ever witnessed, approximately 359 million years ago.
NASA's Mars Perseverance rover has deployed Ingenuity onto the ground then began driving away to allow the helicopter's solar panels to start functioning. The first ever powered flight on another planet is fast approaching.

How the Universe Shapes Our Understanding of Time
Clocks: In a world of booked calendars and packed schedules, it’s hard to imagine life without them. But as it turns out, we’ve been telling time long before their invention. For millennia, people have used the stars to understand and organize the movement of time.

In a Comprehensive Test, The 'Impossible' EM Drive Has Failed to Produce Thrust… Again
The EM Drive is a hypothetical rocket that proponents claim can generate thrust with no exhaust. This would violate all known physics. In 2016, a team at NASA's Eagleworks lab claimed to measure thrust from an EM Drive device, the news of which ca
Mars Helicopter Ingenuity's first flight planned for Sunday April 11th
NASA Invites Public to Take Flight With Ingenuity Mars Helicopter with a livestream confirming Ingenuity’s first flight, targeted to begin around 7:30 am UTC Monday, April 12th.
The helicopter is a technology demonstration with a planned test flight duration of up to 31 days (30 Mars days, or sols). The rover will provide support during flight operations, taking images, collecting environmental data, and hosting the base station that enables the helicopter to communicate with mission controllers on Earth.
Livestream will be available here on YouTube, on Monday

Pager, a nine year old Macaque, plays Mind Pong with his Neuralink.
At first, Pager is shown controlling a pointer on the screen using a joystick while the Neuralink monitors brain activity.
In the next segment the joystick is removed and he proceeds to play a game of Mind Pong by thinking of moving the non-existent joystick.
