One of the most fun parts of miSci's archives for us to comb through are the films!

Today we bring you footage of a helicopter flight at the dedication of the General Electric Flight Test Center in 1946. You can still see the hangar at the Schenectady County Airport- it's the location of our friends at the Aerosciences Museum. There's more to this film too- we'll edit a few more up to post in the future.

The helicopter looks like a Sikorsky R-5; not sure exactly which variant- any idea @esam_nys ?

We don’t see two full moons in a month too often

We don’t see two full moons in a month too often—the dates need to work out just right. �But once in a blue moon… it does happen!

The phrase “Once in a blue moon” is used to mean “rarely” or “infrequently.” Digging back to find out where the phrase came from you also find reports of “blue moons” around volcanic eruptions—hopefully an infrequent event! This is an example of the moon literally turning slightly blue in color—it can happen when particles of just the right size in the air change the color we see.�

This May's Blue Moon is also a micro-moon- the Moon is at its furthest from Earth, making it look a little smaller than average and a little less bright. But this Blue Moon is still wonderful, and it is said that a wish made on a blue moon can give us a second chance with something special. Best wishes! 🤞
