"A martian butterfly flaps its wings 🦋 Insects arent commonplace on Mars so its no surprise that this is no butterfly as we know it. Its actually a kind of crater formed as a space rock hurtled towards the Red Planet and collided with its red-brown surface. The collision caused two distinct lobes of material to be flung outwards to the craters north and south creating two outstretched wings of raised ground. The wings of this particular butterfly crater are rather undefined and irregular but can be seen extending to the lower left and upper right of the main walnut-esque crater shown here."

"Gyroscopes in space Gyroscopes form an important in keeping the International Space Station and satellites pointing the right way as they orbit our planet. ESA astronaut Tim Peake shows how gyroscopes can be used to keep spacecraft stable during his six-month Principia mission. There is no up or down in space. Satellites track their pointing direction using the same approach as on submarines and aircraft: fast-spinning gyroscopes that maintain a fixed orientation in the same way as a childs spinning top. The International Space Station has four big gyroscopes which are used for stabilization"
