NASA ANOTHER VIEW touchdown

ouchdown. The Mars In-Sight suc- cessfully landed on Mars on Monday after a seventh-month journey. T It’s the first of several challenges NASA faces as it explores the Red Planet, learning about the interior of Mars and gathering scientific data that can pave the way for astronauts to eventually return to the moon and, one day, land on Mars. Astronauts have been gathering data and performing experiments aboard the ISS (International Space Station) in advance of the Red Planet landing, and now NASA has leapt over that with an accomplishment that would have impressed Jules Verne. Continued exploration and perhaps, one day, colonization, are ahead, but for now we should be proud to witness an accomplishment that can be shared with the world. On the ISS, scientists have been learning about how gravity affects health, plants and water, among other things. It may seem like a leap too far, but every major discovery seems that way in its initial stages. We commend NASA and all those involved in their mission. We look for- ward to the next discovery.

While the drivers of the decline are not clear, the researchers said shrinking native milkweed populations and a boost in glyphosate use in the Midwest are part of the problem. Glyphosate, an herbicide often applied to agricultural fields to eliminate weeds, is lethal to milkweed, the monarchs’ host plant. Less milkweed means less habi- tat for monarchs, said study co-author Ernest Williams, professor emeritus of biology at Hamilton College in New York. "What’s really needed are patches of native vegetation and nectar sources without pesticides," Williams said.
