Kenna here with your daily headlines in the world of space news and science.

We have a good roundup of stories for you, from Honda's demonstration of its first-ever reusable rocket to Star Trek's "The Best of Both Worlds" turning 35 (where did the time go!) to Mars entering the spring triangle this week. 

The headlines include an article I wrote about the Bogong moth, an Australian insect that researchers claim is the first insect to be able to navigate long distances using the stars. It was really fun to write this story, as I got to hear stories about getting stuck in the Australian outback during COVID, as well as a fierce moth-catching competition. Who knew a moth story could really take flight?  

Thanks for exploring with us. 

Keep looking up,
