NASA engineers got their "Wright Brothers moment" Monday when the solar-powered Ingenuity helicopter climbled straight up about ten feet, hovered, and dropped down again, the 40 second flight making history. (You can see the video here: "NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Succeeds in Historic First Flight")
Not only did the little helicopter land safely back at what NASA has designated "Wright Brothers Field," it carries a piece of fabric from the Wright brother's first biplane.

Meanwhile, back on boring old Earth, we have the Lyrid meteor showers to look forward to Thursday morning around 3:00am...

And April's full moon will be coming up pink on April 26. Yet another "super moon," this one will appear about 7% larger and 15% brighter than "regular" full moons.
