If you're making mosquito-killing buckets, a great way to monitor for larvae is to add a white yogurt lid. And if you see them, add another chunk of Mosquito Dunk ASAP or dump everything out and start over. They also permit you to easily see egg rafts and thus get confirmation that mosquitoes are indeed visiting. (The photo here has many rafts but the two in the lid are easy to find.) Larvae and egg rafts are really hard to see in murky water inside dark buckets. #mosquitoes #diptera

A daring mission to lift NASA’s sinking Neil Gehrels #Swift Observatory is now one step closer to launch this June: https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/swift/2026/05/08/katalyst-wraps-testing-at-nasa-goddard-for-swift-boost-mission/ and https://www.katalystspace.com/post/katalyst-robotic-spacecraft-passes-testing-milestone - on May 4, Katalyst Space Technologies completed environmental tests of its LINK robotic servicing spacecraft at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; LINK will meet up with Swift and attempt to raise its orbit.
