NASA’s Hubble sees Martian moon orbiting the Red Planet

A news story from earlier this week has inspired my choice of today's Beautiful Music. NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has been exploring Mars for three years, far outlasting the original expectations for its mission, and now its mission has ended. You can use this link to learn more about Ingenuity and its mission. Today's Beautiful Music is MARS from The Planets by Gustav Holst, featuring the stellar conductor Susanna Mälkki leading the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Their performance is out of this world!

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
