Two Views of a High-Altitude Flight for Ingenuity Mars Helicopter
As NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter made its 59th flight on Mars – achieving its second highest altitude while taking pictures of this flight – the Perseverance Mars rover was watching. See two perspectives of this 142-second flight that reached an altitude of 66 feet (20 meters). This flight took place on Sept.16, 2023.

Owls have the widest neck rotation range among animals. This remarkable feature stems from the unique articulation of their spine with the skull. Unlike mammals, which typically have two occipital condyles (spherical ends of a bone that fit into a cavity in another bone to form a joint), owls possess only one.
Additionally, birds have a long, flexible neck containing anywhere from 11 to 23 movable vertebrae. An owl's head can swivel approximately 270 degrees in each direction, allowing for a total rotational range of one and a half full turns. This extraordinary neck flexibility is not just a peculiar trait; it's a critical adaptation that allows owls to have a nearly unobstructed view of their surroundings, an essential asset for a predator that hunts primarily at night.

🦎 Aquatic Anoles: Nature’s Divers! 🦎
Did you know that the aquatic anole (Anolis aquaticus) can breathe underwater using a natural “scuba tank”? These amazing lizards can stay submerged for up to 16 minutes! They achieve this by storing air in a special skin pouch on their head and throat.
