Washington, April 15 (IANS) Originally tasked with only five test flights to prove its "pioneering" technology, NASA's Ingenuity Helicopter has completed its 50th flight on Mars, exceeding all expectations, the US space agency said.

Along their eight arms, octopuses have highly sensitive suckers that allow methodical explorations of the seafloor as they search for nourishment in a “taste by touch” approach. Squids, on the other hand, use a much different tactic to find their nex
