The “Man in the Moon,” the dark area of dried lava that looks like a face smiling from the lunar surface, may be older than anyone thought, scientists say. The consequences could echo through the entire solar system. “It’s like changing the clock for all solar system objects,” says Stephanie Werner, a planetary scientist at the University of Oslo in Norway and a co-author of the new research, which she presented on July 14 at the Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference in Lyon, France. The finding is currently in press in the Planetary Science Journal. Unlike Earth, where plate tectonics and biological…

Well, this is surprising. It seemed like we were going into Big Brother Season 25 with little information about what was on tap for the houseguests. CBS on Friday afternoon shared a surprising sneak peek ahead of Wednesday’s live move-in event. Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes, and Danielle Reyes “broke into” the revamped house that houseguests will call home and “unwittingly unleashed the season 25 twist.” Cameras captured the big moment and the moment the three BB alums, who all famously lost their seasons, rolled a “Time Laser” into the house. “The incident has revealed their plan was to go back…

Microsoft wrote last week that its “investigations have not detected any other use of this pattern by other actors and Microsoft has taken steps to block related abuse.” But if the stolen signing key could have been used to breach other services, even if it wasn’t used this way in the recent incident, the finding has significant implications for the security of Microsoft’s cloud services and other platforms.The attack “seems to have a broader scope than originally assumed,” the Wiz researchers wrote. They added , “This isn’t a Microsoft-specific issue—if a signing key for Google, Facebook, Okta, or any other…

Currently, it is impossible to accurately predict when and where an earthquake might strike. But scientists now believe that Global Positioning System (GPS) data could help spot early warning signs two hours before a big quake strikes.Earthquakes occur when the slabs of slow-moving rocks just under Earth’s surface — known as tectonic plates — suddenly slide past one another. This releases a wave of energy that triggers shaking on the surface, which can vary from tiny rumbles to massive quakes. For decades, scientists have tried to find a pattern that precedes major earthquakes so that people have time to prepare,…

As a great man once said, “clothes maketh the man.” (I think it was Harry Hart from Kingsman: The Secret Service, although maybe someone else said it first, I dunno.) And clothes maketh the Superman too. A great superhero costume is not only an integral part of any comic-book movie, it can be an incredible marketing tool for a movie. Just look back at the historical reaction to the Spider-Man costume in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man. One promo image of that suit, designed by James Acheson, built an enormous amount of hype for that project. A few months later, Spider-Man had the biggest opening weekend…

In the movie, Barbie’s retro style is re-created almost to a T, as shown by Robbie’s 1959-inspired black-and-white strapless swimsuit. In another scene, sitting in her iconic convertible, Robbie wears a blue-and-white-striped…

Another top-tier act in his mind – and ours – is Swedish djent pioneer Meshuggah; in fact, Van Halen claims that they’re soothing enough to lull him to sleep.In a new chat with Primordial Radio (published on July 7, 2023), the Mammoth WVH frontman praised the group, rejoicing:I could fall asleep listening to Meshuggah.
