NASA’s 1.8-kilogram Ingenuity helicopter flew through Martian air roughly 100 times thinner than Earth’s—its counter-rotating blades spun at about 2,400 revolutions per minute, nearly five times faster than a conventional passenger helicopter’s main rotor, to generate enough lift.
On Earth, a 1.8-kilogram helicopter would be a small machine. On Mars, NASA’s Ingenuity had to become something…

Venus may have remained temperate and potentially habitable for most of its history—then water-thin carbonatite lava carved vast channels, including one stretching 6,800 kilometres, and released enough CO₂ to help transform the planet into the inferno we see today
Venus carries what look, at first glance, like river systems across its volcanic plains. They meander, divide around…
