A thunder of jets in an open sky, a streak of gray and a cheerful ‘Hi’! (theme song of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon - https://lnkd.in/gSe_6-U9) While flying squirrels are amazing creatures, unlike the cartoon Rocky they can not actually fly. However, they can glide up to 150 feet from tree to tree using a fold of skin, called a patagium, that extends from their nimble wrists to their flexible ankles. They glide at angles of 30 to 40 degrees and can even maneuver around obstacles in midair. Also unlike the intrepid Rocky, they are nocturnal and thus are rarely seen by people. Amazingly, it has recently been discovered that under ultraviolet light all three species of New World flying squirrels (genus Glaucomys) are fluorescent in varying intensities of pink! The range of the northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) and the Humboldt's flying squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis) overlap in Western Washington. The two species look very similar, but genetic analysis has shown that they are distinct species that were separated during past glacial expansion.

It’s been 52 years since humans first walked on the lunar surface. Now, space agencies like NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) are preparing for new missions to deepen our understanding of the Moon, with the possibility of establishing a permanent lunar base. 🌕 In this month’s blog, we focus on Moon exploration and highlight the optical technologies driving the next generation of lunar missions. 🔭 From cameras and imaging systems to LiDAR and Raman Spectroscopy, a variety of optical technologies are playing a crucial role in capturing imagery, collecting data, and detecting minerals, water, and ice on the Moon. 🧊 Read our latest blog here: https://bit.ly/3zWmME0 #OpticalComponents #KnightOptical #Optics #NASA #Space

Did you know? Dr. Chiaki Mukai a Japanese physician and JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut, traded scalpels for spaceships, becoming Japan's FIRST FEMALE ASTRONAUT to BLAST OFF not once, but TWICE! Dr. Mukai isn't just a space explorer; she's a brilliant scientist. During her missions, she tackled fascinating mysteries of how our bodies work in zero gravity. Think of her like a super-cool detective, figuring out the secrets of space! ️‍♀️ But Dr. Mukai's passion goes beyond the stars. She's a huge advocate for STEM, inspiring young minds to reach for their dreams, no matter how big! Whether you're fascinated by space or curious about the human body, Dr. Mukai's story shows anything is possible. ✨ Let's celebrate Dr. Chiaki Mukai: a true inspiration, and a champion for science. #WomenOnT #WomenInTech #WomenInSTEM #SpaceHero #ReachForTheStars #DidYouKnow #Trivia

Powered by Starlink! Okay not powered but provided internet 😅 I’m not stoked to be supporting Elon Musk (Starlink is a subsidiary of SpaceX owned by him) but when you are working while travelling around Australia it’s the only option. Starlink is a constellation of satellites, and as of March there were 5504 Starlink satellites in orbit 🤯🤯 They transmit signals between satellites to provide internet. The result is that you can get internet (and fast internet) pretty much everywhere in Australia! So far I have found Starlink great, over 6 weeks there have only been two sessions impacted (one couldn’t happen and one kept on stopping and starting 😥) and these were early on. I’ve now figured out better placement of the satellite and also have found Zoom far better with it than Powerdiary which I use at home. The only downsides are that it drains power quickly, which means when off grid we have to keep an eye on how much battery is being drained (we use solar). Of course the other downside is that we have internet anywhere, so the joy of not being able to get reception is gone 🫤 So if you have a session with me while I’m on the road, this is how I’ll be getting internet!

Chang'e-6: Pioneering the Lunar Far Side 🌘 China has embarked on a pioneering lunar mission, launching the Long March-5 rocket with the Chang'e-6 probe onboard, to fetch samples from the moon's enigmatic far side (a global first). Targeting the South Pole-Aitken Basin, one of the solar system's oldest impact craters, this 53-day mission aims to scoop up about 2 kilograms of lunar soil. If successful, Chang'e-6 will offer scientists unprecedented insights into the geological and material composition of this uncharted lunar territory. This venture not only seeks to enhance our understanding of the moon's hidden hemisphere but also positions China closer to becoming the first nation to extract and return lunar samples from this unexplored region, with broader plans for manned lunar missions by 2030. 📩 Weekly AI & Tech Newsletter: https://t.co/6HyjyF5Pwz #space #spacemissions #tech #moonmission

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Are Changing How Pilots Are Trained There’s a revolution taking place in pilot training, thanks to VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality; also known as mixed reality or MR). Both offer computer-assisted ways to make pilot training safer both on the ground and in flight. In doing so, these technologies make it possible for student pilots to gain relevant skills before they ever go aloft, and to receive training assistance once they are in the cockpit and flying for the very first time.

The rise of Private Space Travel: How close are we to reaching the stars? Imagine the possibility of venturing into space, not as an astronaut, but as a traveler. The idea of private space travel has been in our collective imaginations for years, primarily fueled by science fiction novels and movies. But with companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin taking giant steps in space exploration, this concept is inching closer to reality. The race to commercialize space travel has sparked heated competition among several private companies. These companies are revolutionizing how we perceive space exploration by making it a possibility for ordinary individuals. However, numerous challenges and questions loom over this industry. How prepared are prospective travelers for the rigors and risks associated with space travel? What about the costs? Are we ready to deal with the environmental impact? And most importantly, how will the laws and regulations adapt to this new frontier? Despite these questions, it's an exciting time for everyone involved in this emerging industry. As marketers, it presents a unique platform for creativity, innovation and strategic thinking. So while we gear up to take on these challenges head-on, let's take a moment to imagine a future where buying a ticket to space is as commonplace as boarding a flight to another country today. Are you ready for that future? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Rings and things ⭕ Our ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week features a barred spiral galaxy known as MCG+07-07-072, photobombed by several stars 🌟 that are much closer to Earth than it is. 🔴 It has an unusual shape, with arms emerging from the ends of its barred core to form a near-circle. It is classified as an SBC(r) galaxy, with the (r) standing for its ring-like structure. But rings in galaxies come in many forms! 🔴 Lenticular galaxies often feature ring-like shapes in their discs. The classification of “ring galaxy” is reserved for peculiar galaxies with a round ring of gas and star formation, much like spiral arms look, but completely disconnected from the galactic nucleus — or even without any visible nucleus.
