An experiment on the ISS will investigate whether plants are able to use a sixth sense while in space - a sense of gravity.
In the weightless environment of the space station, researchers will monitor how plants grow in a particular direction without a noticeable gravitational pull.
The results could help farmers on Earth get a higher crop yield - and may also help future astronauts grow plants on missions beyond Earth orbit to the moon and Mars.
An experiment on the ISS will investigate whether plants are able to use a sixth sense while in space - a sense of gravity. Nasa astronaut Karen Nyberg is pictured harvesting plants from a previous Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) investigation of thale cress during Expedition 37 in 2013

The first one-year crew for the International Space Station is set to launch Friday, March 27. NASA Television will provide extensive coverage of the launch and the crew's arrival to the orbital laboratory.
NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko will spend a year living and working aboard the space station and will launch with cosmonaut Gennady Padalka. The trio will become part of the station's Expedition 43 crew.
NASA TV coverage will begin at 2:30 p.m. EDT March 27, with launch scheduled for 3:42 p.m. (1:42 a.m. Saturday, March 28 in Baikonur) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The trio will ride to space in a Soyuz spacecraft, which will rendezvous with the space station and dock after four orbits of Earth. Docking to the space station's Poisk module will take place at 9:36 p.m. Friday. NASA TV coverage of docking will begin at 8:45 p.m.
Hatches between the Soyuz and the station will be opened at approximately 11:15 p.m., at which time Expedition 43 Commander Terry Virts of NASA and his crewmates, Anton Shkaplerov of Roscosmos and Samantha Cristoforetti of ESA (European Space Agency), will greet Kelly, Kornienko and Padalka. Hatch opening coverage begins on NASA TV at 10:45 p.m.
Kelly and Kornienko will spend a year on the space station to better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to the harsh environment of space. Data from the expedition will be used to determine whether there are ways to further reduce the risks on future long-duration missions to an asteroid and eventually Mars.
The crew will support several hundred experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science - research that impacts life on Earth. Data and samples will be collected throughout the year from a series of studies involving Scott and his twin brother, former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly. The studies will compare data from the genetically-identical Kelly brothers to identify any subtle changes caused by spaceflight.
Padalka will spend six months aboard the outpost, during which he will become the first four-time station commander and record holder for most cumulative time spent in space.

Mad Men's final season signifies the end of a style era on TV (and, full disclosure, we're a little heartbrokenalthough super-excited for the April 5 premiere).
Luckily, we'll always have the leading ladies' red carpet fashion. January Jones, Christina Hendricks, Jessica Par, Elisabeth Moss and Kiernan Shipka not only transported our imaginations with their on-screen styletheir awards show, premiere and event looks also stole the proverbial show.
Which is exactly why we're giving homage through a red carpet retrospective: First, we've narrowed our favorite looks from each of the five ladies. Next, we want to know which of these Mad Men mavens' red carpet style is your favorite! Read on for our picks and vote below:
READ: Mad Men's costume designer reveals her top five favorite show looks
The Risk Taker: January Jones is no shrinking violetthe star is known to step out on the red carpet in looks that will turn heads (or drop jaws, even). Some of Jones' best red carpet moments have been her most memorable: We're talking the textured, electric blue Atelier Versace frock that she wore to 2013 Emmys; the TopShop mini that even Beyonc had to get her hands on; the race car yellow Atelier Versace gown she donned at the 2012 Met Gala; a sexy Schumacher shorts and coat look worn to a Lucky Fabb event; her vampy red Versace frock with floor-length fringe, which she wore to the 2011 Golden Globes; and the ornate black-and-gold Carolina Herrera gown that she sported to the SAG Awards in 2011.
The Print Maven: Jessica Par goes for classic silhouettes (all the better to frame her statuesque figure with) and punchy prints on the red carpet. Some of our favorite looks on the star include the high-slit Thakoon gown she wore to a 2014 pre-Emmys event; the black tea-length Lanvin frock she donned at the 2014 Emmys; the slinky, pink Calvin Klein dress we spotted her in at Elle's 20th Annual Women In Hollywood bash; the gorgeous Roksanda Ilincic number she wore to a 2014 PaleyFest event; and the dramatic white-and-black Michael Kors gown with a graphic design that she wore to the 2014 Met Gala.
NEWS: January Jones goes topless & proves she's a beauty chameleon for Violet Grey
The Timeless Beauty: Christina Hendricks is widely considered to be someone who doles up a healthy serving of va-va-voom on the red carpet, but we're impressed by more than just her bombshell figure. The actress frequently wears statement frocks in rich jewel or pastel hues, like the creamy Johanna Johnson confection she sported at the 2011 Emmys; the red, bow-topped Carolina Herrera gown she wore to the 2010 SAG Awards; the green off-the-shoulder Zac Posen midi that she wore to the 2014 CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute; her unforgettable lilac 2010 Emmys dress by Zac Posen; her iridescent, tea-length Vivienne Westwood Couture frock in an eye-catching mulberry hue; and the frill-embellished Christian Siriano dress from her appearance at the Golden Globes in 2010.
The New Classic: Elisabeth Moss is a master of wearing black, red and white (one of our favorite red carpet palettes, natch). Her style wins include the belted red Michael Kors gown that she wore to the 2014 SAG Awards; the sexy Georges Hobeika jumpsuit with sheer illusion panels she sported to a 2014 pre-Golden Globes event; the one-shoulder Donna Karan gown she donned at the 2010 Emmys; the monochrome Andrew Gn frock that wowed us at the 2013 Emmys; the Houghton dress with a sexy, mostly-sheer bodice that she wore to the 2014 Vanity Fair post-Oscars bash; and a Stella McCartney frock with a built-in hourglass silhouette, which she wore to a 2013 pre-Emmys event.

Red Army
At the Myrna Loy
Grade: A
Our independent movie house was founded upon the legacy of local legends like Myrna Loy and Gary Cooper.
How fitting, then, that the Myrna Loy Center would showcase Red Army, a critically acclaimed documentary, executive-produced by one of Helenas own, Liam Satre-Meloy. Satre-Meloy will be present at both screenings of Red Army today, with Q&A sessions after both screenings. The Myrna will also host an opening-night reception.
Red Army is the latest proof that trees with Helena roots can grow plenty tall.
Most of us who were sports fans in the 1970s and 1980s know the myth of the Soviet Unions legendary hockey team, The Red Army.
The Red Army team was a puzzling contradiction.
On the one hand, the players skated with the elegance of Russian ballerinas -- weaving and passing with artistic finesse.
On the other hand, the Red Army team was trained in a system reminiscent of the Soviet Gulag camps.

IMAGE:NASA's Aqua satellite captured this visible image of Typhoon Maysak moving west-northwest through the Philippine Sea on April 3 at 04:25 UTC. view more
Credit: NASA Goddard MODIS Rapid Response Team
Various NASA satellites and instruments continue to see the weakening trend in Typhoon Maysak as it moved through the Philippine Sea on April 2 and 3 toward a landfall in Luzon on April 4. Maysak is known locally in the Philippines as Typhoon Chedeng.
On April 2, the International Space Station's NASA RapidScat instrument analyzed Maysak's winds from 9:10 to 10:43 UTC (5:10 a.m. to 6:43 a.m. EDT) and data found strongest surface winds were northeast of the eye, near 40 m/s (89.4 mph/144 kph/77.7 knots).
The Global Precipitation Measurement or GPM core observatory satellite passed above Typhoon Maysak on April 2, 2015 at 23:43 UTC (7:43 p.m. EDT). GPM's Microwave Imager (GMI) found heavy rain in Maysak's northwestern side but the typhoon had weakened from its peak intensity of over 130 knots (150 mph/241 kph) to about 115 knots (132 mph/213 kph) at the time of GPM passed overhead.
GPM's Radar (Ku Band) was used to create a 3-D view to show the vertical structure of the thunderstorms that make up Maysak. The three dimensional view was created looking toward the southwestern side of Maysak's eye, and showed that the eye wall was eroding on that side. Some of the highest thunderstorms around the eye were near 9.3 miles (15 km) high. Vertical wind shear has contributed to Typhoon Maysak's continued weakening.
On April 3, Public Storm Warning Signal #1 were in effect in the Philippines for the Luzon provinces of Isabela, Aurora, Quirino, Quezon including Polillo Island, Catanduanes, Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur. For updated warnings and watches, visit: http://pagasa.dost.gov.ph/index.php/tropical-cyclones/weather-bulletin.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured a visible image of Typhoon Maysak moving west-northwest through the Philippine Sea at 04:25 UTC (12:25 a.m. EDT). Maysak's eye was still visible on the MODIS image, although it appeared it was topped by high clouds. Bands of thunderstorms circled the eye and wrapped into the center from the north and east of the center.
By 1500 UTC (11 a.m. EDT) Typhoon Maysak's maximum sustained winds dropped to 85 knots (97.8 mph/157.4 kph). That makes Maysak a Category 2 typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale. Hurricane-force winds extended to about 30 nautical miles (34.5 miles/55.5 km) outward from the center. Maysak was centered near 14.4 north latitude and 128.5 east longitude, about 471 nautical miles (542 miles/872.3 km) east of Manila, Philippines. Maysak was moving to the west at 9 knots (10.3 mph/16.6 kph).
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) predicts that Maysak will be a tropical storm when it makes landfall on April 4 in the northern Philippines. Passage across land will weaken Maysak, and the storm is expected to dissipate over the South China Sea.
