The vast majority of the fossilized remains that are found from millions of years ago are of animals doing their own thing on their own.

So, you can imagine the excitement of the team of scientists that found fossilized evidence of an interaction between not two, but three different species.

The fossils are that of an ancient crustacean and a squid, with a special cameo by a hungry shark.

The squid likely snatched up the crustacean — a member of the Proeryon family, which looked a bit like a lobster or crab but had “long, thin claws” — and was in the midst of cracking it open to feast when it was attacked by another predator.

The scientists think that the predator that surprised the squid may have been a species of ancient shark, though they can’t say for certain.

The squid, possibly still alive but gravely injured, drifted to the bottom of the sea and died with the crustacean (or at least its rigid outer skin) still in its mouth.

However, the fact that the squid and crustacean tumbled to the seabed and ended up being fossilized in the sediment while still attached is quite remarkable.

Yet new data sent back from Nasa’s Voyager 1 probe has shown that interstellar space actually sounds like gentle rain.

Since then, it has been travelling through interstellar space, and sending regular messages back to scientists 14 billion miles away.

After entering interstellar space, the spacecraft's Plasma Wave System detected large disturbances caused by our own Sun.

NASA has had a great deal of success with its Mars helicopter Ingenuity.

The aircraft took the long trip from Earth to the Red Planet while strapped to the belly of the Perseverance rover, and once it was dropped off at its first Mars "airstrip" it didn't take long for the helicopter to begin its flight testing.

Now, with its fifth flight in the books, the helicopter has completely relocated to a new area of Mars and logged its longest flight so far.

For its first four flights, the Mars helicopter took off and landed in the same location.

The fifth flight was the first and only (so far) where the helicopter took off and landed at two different locations.
