Doing long-distance (space travel) is hard 🚀💞 Space-grown crops could be key to long-duration missions as a source of fresh food and, as ongoing research explores, helping crew cope with isolation in space. More on how plants could be cosmic valentines: go.nasa.gov/3ygiul7

4️⃣2️⃣ = the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. 😮 Ingenuity completed Flight 42 this weekend! The #MarsHelicopter traveled 814 ft (248 m) across the Martian surface for 137.17 seconds at a max. altitude of 33 ft (10 m). go.nasa.gov/2U43zuH
Photo taken by the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter using its high-resolution color camera. This camera is mounted in the helicopter's fuselage. The image shows the horizon indicating the landing angle of the helicopter. The helicopter's shadow takes up much of the image and can be seen against the grainy ground of the Martian surface.

Subtropical Storm Nicole has formed in the southwest Atlantic. It is forecast to move towards Florida over the coming days. The main impacts will be poor marine conditions, beach erosion and coastal flooding, periods of heavy rain, and gusty winds.

DART: But the collision is expected to provide enough energy to slightly change the moonlet's orbital velocity, reducing the time it takes to complete one trip around Didymos by up to 10 minutes, from a pre-impact period of 11h and 55m to around 11h 45m or thereabouts
