This Microchip With Wings Is The Smallest Flying Structure Humans Have Ever Built
Now, perhaps more than ever, engineers and scientists have been taking inspiration from nature when developing new technologies. This is also true for the smallest flying structure humans have built to date.

Astronaut Captures Jaw-Dropping Photo of Aurora Blazing Gloriously Above Earth
Astronauts on the International Space Station see remarkable views of Earth every day, but one phenomenon never fails to awe them: the aurora.

A team of musicologists and computer scientists completed Beethoven’s unfinished 10th Symphony
When Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827, he was three years removed from the completion of his Ninth Symphony, a work heralded by many as his magnum opus. He had started work on his 10th Symphony but, due to deteriorating health, wasn’t able to make much headway: All he left behind were some musical sketches.
Now, thanks to the work of a team of music historians, musicologists, composers and computer scientists, Beethoven’s vision will come to life.

We Might Be Wrong About How Children Understand The Minds of Others at a Young Age
There's a chance we're overestimating how much children understand about the minds of others – in fact, we might be expecting too much of kids at too young an age.
One hour ago for the first time in history a film crew flew to the ISS to film a movie.
Soyuz MS-19
Crew:
- cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, Hero of the Russian Federation, Soyuz MS-19 crewed spacecraft commander, ISS-66 commander, Roscosmos (Russia);
- movie director Klim Shipenko, spaceflight participant, Russia;
- actress Yulia Peresild, spaceflight participant, Russia
The film crew will only spend 12 days on ISS and will return to Earth with Soyuz MS-18.
Currently everything is going well. The flight to ISS will only take 3 hours with only two orbits around the Earth. (Usually it takes a few days.) This two-orbit method was first tested with cargo and then about a year ago with a crew of Soyuz MS-17.

Adorable, bloodsucking sea parasite looks just like sushi!
This is an isopod from the genus Rocinela. While many isopods eat dead or decaying animals, Rocinela isopods tend to be parasites that carve out cozy homes on the backs or among the internal organs of other sea creatures. This one may have taken the colour of its latest victim.
Fishers caught this peculiar 3-cm isopod near the coast of Japan at a depth of 800 to 1,200 meters.

The BepiColombo spacecraft – a joint project by the European and Japanese space agencies – swung by its destination planet Mercury in the early hours of October 2 2021. Passing within just 200km of the surface of Mercury, it sent back some spectacular pictures.
For those of us who have worked for a decade or more on this mission, there could hardly be a way better to celebrate what would have been the 101st birthday of the mission’s namesake, Italian mathematician and engineer Giuseppe Colombo. His groundbreaking work in this area earned him the title of the grandfather of the planetary fly-by technique, now more often termed a “swing-by”.

This Unusual Plant From The Amazon Rainforest Has Baffled Scientists For 50 Years

#earth New satellite images have revealed a stunning pattern of concentric cloud rings, resembling a bull's-eye, that was formed by the continued eruption of the volcano on La Palma in Spain's Canary Islands.
Normally, a volcano's eruption plume rises straight up into the stratosphere forming a towering column.
But here hot air of Saharan Air Layer forced the plume to move horizontally. The concentric rings formed because of the natural ebbs and flows in the intensity of volcanic activity.
On the next gif you can see the timelapse of their formation from the ground.
The official name for this type of concentric cloud formation is a gravity wave. However, the formation has nothing to do with gravity.

Poster of 42 asteroids in our Solar System and their orbits (black background - full size image)
This poster shows 42 of the largest objects in the asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter (orbits not to scale). The images in the outermost circle of this infographic have been captured with the Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch (SPHERE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope. The asteroid sample features 39 objects larger than 100 kilometres in diameter, including 20 larger than 200 kilometres. The poster highlights a few of the objects, including Ceres (the largest asteroid in the belt), Urania (the smallest one imaged), Kalliope (the densest imaged) and Lutetia, which was visited by the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission.
