NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter completed its fifth flight with a one-way journey from Wright Brothers Field to a new airfield 423 feet (129 meters) to the south on May 7, 2021. Ingenuity climbed to a new altitude record of 33 feet (10 meters). The flight is part of the rotorcraft’s transition to its new operations demonstration phase. This phase will focus on investigating how a rotorcraft can be used, and demonstrate products that only a rotorcraft can provide from its aerial vantage point. Ingenuity became the first aircraft in history to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet on April 19, 2021, from Wright Brothers Field in Jezero Crater, Mars.

A Perseverance rover microphone captured audio of Ingenuity's fourth flight on Mars. The sound from the helicopter blades were "isolated and volume increased to make it easier to hear," according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Join Karen Olsson-Francis who is a microbiologist by training, and her research focuses on life at the limits! The Royal Astronomical Society is collaborating with the Linnean Society to present a series of informal, one-hour astrobiology-focussed events, with a talk and a 20-30 minute Q&A. We have asked our speakers to share their field of science and the path they took to get there tailored for GCSE and A Level science students. Most importantly, we want to make sure that we give students ample time to ask their questions.

Automating an observing run is one of the most efficient uses of your equipment. You can plan the night's observing, then let your equipment do the work! But what do you need to make this possible?

The four astronauts who flew on NASA's SpaceX Crew-1 mission safely splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Panama City, Florida, on May 2, 2021. After spending nearly six months in space, their return to Earth marks the end of the first crew rotational mission to the International Space Station under the agency's Commercial Crew Program. Also, the memory of former astronaut Michael Collins was honored during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Collins remained in lunar orbit on the historic Apollo 11 mission where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first people to walk on the Moon. He passed away on April 28 at the age of 90.

There's a huge amount of variety among exoplanets – planets outside our solar system. There are water worlds, lava planets, egg-shaped worlds, planets with multiple suns, and even planets with no sun at all! What can we learn from all this weird, wondrous variety? What does it tell us about both the exoplanets themselves and our own home planet? Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Parodying the classic sea shanty The Wellerman, “The Solar Wind: A Heliophysics Sea Shanty” illuminates one of the primary connections between the Sun and Earth, the solar wind. The solar wind is a constant outflow of magnetized material released by the Sun and causes a cascade of effects on space and Earth. The most visible of these from our planet is the aurora borealis, displays of colorful light in the sky that provide a stunning example of the Sun-Earth connection.

I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. http://drbecky.uk.com https://rebeccasmethurst.co.uk
