Cassini logged 67 crossings of the funnel where the solar wind reaches Saturn, and after the count was divided by how long the spacecraft spent looking, the peak sat in the afternoon instead of at noon where Earth's cusp sits — three crossings turned up past dusk

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.

Scientists have confirmed that a pit in the Moon’s Sea of Tranquillity opens into an underground cave, probably an ancient lava tube. Only tens of metres have been mapped, but separate modelling suggests that lunar gravity could support tubes kilometres wide—natural shelters large enough, in theory, to house entire settlements.

Classic Moon-formation simulations treated the colliding proto-Earth and Theia as strengthless fluids, typically producing a debris disk that assembled later—but when Southwest Research Institute researchers added temperature-dependent rock strength, one canonical simulation produced an intact Moon in roughly five hours.
