A space elevator to the Moon is now within reach thanks to modern technology
- Researchers have proposed a lunar space elevator concept called the 'spaceline' that could drastically reduce the cost of space travel.
- Traditional rocket launches are costly due to the need for propellant, while a space elevator would utilize a cable extending from Earth to the Moon for fuel-free transport.
- Past limitations of material strength for a space elevator may be overcome by attaching the cable to the Moon rather than Earth, reducing tension forces.
- The spaceline concept utilizes the Lagrange point, where gravity from Earth and the Moon cancels out, making it feasible with current high-strength materials.
- The estimated cost of constructing the lunar space elevator would be comparable to other large-scale missions, offering a more cost-effective means for lunar exploration.
- The spaceline would open up opportunities for safe access to the Lagrange point, ideal for scientific endeavors and technological developments.
- Potential projects at the Lagrange point include space-based telescopes, particle accelerators, gravitational wave detectors, and launch stations for deep-space missions.
- By reducing costs and complexities associated with space travel, the spaceline could accelerate the establishment of a permanent human presence in space.
- The concept of a lunar space elevator is not just a futuristic dream but a tangible solution grounded in current technology, offering vast possibilities for space exploration.
- The spaceline could pave the way for a new era in space travel, enabling endeavors from lunar bases to interplanetary missions and serving as a gateway to the next frontier.

Sols 4541–4542: Boxwork Structure, or Just “Box-Like” Structure?
- Curiosity rover on Mars encountered a potential boxwork structure, consisting of web-like ridges, on Sol 4541–4542 of its mission.
- Due to a front wheel being perched on a small pebble, the rover couldn't safely reach the structure but will conduct remote sensing observations and reposition for further investigation on Friday.
- Curiosity's tasks included taking Mastcam mosaics, imaging nearby terrains and ridges, conducting maintenance on the Heat Rejection System pump, and performing atmospheric science studies.
- Additional activities involved bumping back the rover, conducting atmospheric surveys including a dust-devil survey, and targeting ChemCam with AEGIS for autonomous analysis.

NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover to Take Bite Out of ‘Krokodillen’
- NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is exploring a new region on Mars called 'Krokodillen' that may contain some of the oldest rocks on the planet.
- The area of interest is located on the lower slope of Jezero Crater's rim and offers clues about Mars' ancient environment and habitability.
- The presence of clays in the ancient bedrock of Krokodillen suggests the past existence of liquid water on Mars, crucial for the formation of clay minerals.
- The Krokodillen rocks date back to Mars' earliest geologic period, the Noachian, and are among the oldest rocks on the planet.
- Data from Mars orbiters hint at olivine and carbonate-rich areas on the outer edges of Krokodillen, which are known for preserving fossilized ancient microbial life.
- Perseverance's new sampling strategy involves leaving some rock core samples unsealed for future potential discoveries of scientifically compelling geologic features.
- The rover has collected and sealed numerous rock cores and regolith samples, with the latest unsealed sample named 'Bell Island' containing spherules.
- The new sampling strategy provides flexibility for collecting diverse rock samples as the mission continues its exploration of Mars.
- The environmental cleanliness standards inside the rover ensure minimal risk of sample contamination while leaving some tubes unsealed for future use.
- The mission's focus on exploring Mars for over four years aims to gather unique and compelling rock samples to study the Red Planet's geologic history.

Flamingos create water vortices to trap their prey
- Flamingos use different techniques, such as stomping with webbed feet and chattering their beaks, to create water vortices and trap their prey.
- Scientists observed flamingos at the Nashville Zoo and created artificial copies of their beaks and legs to study in the lab.
- Flamingos actively hunt for moving prey like brine shrimp using vortices to concentrate and capture their food.
- They use techniques like skimming, where their flattened beak and S-shaped neck create sheet-like vortices to trap prey efficiently.
- Researchers suggest that understanding flamingos' feeding strategies could inspire more effective systems for concentrating particles like microplastics.
- Engineers could potentially design robots to navigate in water or mud using techniques inspired by flamingos' movements.
- Flamingos are specialized filter feeders, utilizing their unique body parts and behaviors to capture agile prey effectively.
- The study sheds light on how flamingos' adaptations can be applied to advancements in filtration systems and robotics.
- Flamingos' hunting techniques involve a combination of movements involving their legs, head, and beak to create eddies in the water where they catch their prey.

Scientists Say: Interstellar medium
- The interstellar medium (ISM) refers to the gas, dust, and radiation filling the space between stars within a galaxy.
- Hydrogen and helium gas make up about 98 percent of the ISM's mass, with heavier elements like carbon and oxygen making up the other 2 percent.
- The gas molecules in interstellar space are extremely sparse, with an incredibly low density compared to Earth's atmosphere.
- Dust grains in the ISM are sparse but sufficient to block visible light from stars, allowing infrared light to pass through and be observed with telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope.

Starwatch: Boötes, the herdsman ploughing the heavens
- Boötes, the herdsman, is a prominent constellation in the northern hemisphere's spring night sky and is one of the International Astronomical Union's 88 official constellations.
- Despite being known as the herdsman, some stories associate Boötes with a ploughman driving the constellation of Ursa Major, the great bear, around the pole.
- Boötes is often depicted as associated with the constellation of Canes Venatici, the hunting dogs, on old star maps where he is shown holding these dogs on a leash.
- The brightest star in Boötes is the red giant star Arcturus, the fourth brightest star in the night sky, emitting around 170 times more light than our Sun, visible in the southern hemisphere near the northern horizon.
