The second part will explore…

If you own a strong enough telescope, you might be able to witness history on Wednesday: A dead rocket is going to crash into the moon.On August 5, at around 6:34 am UTC, a spent SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage is expected to hit the moon’s sunlit western limb near Einstein crater at more than 5,400 mph. If it unfolds as predicted, the crash could throw up a plume of debris bright enough to briefly see from Earth with the right equipment.That would be a first. No impact flash has ever been recorded on the sunlit face of the moon,…

A private mission to rescue an ailing NASA space telescope may now need a rescue of its own. The LINK spacecraft — designed by private company Katalyst Space to boost the orbit of NASA’s ageing Swift Observatory — is reportedly spinning unexpectedly in the weeks after its launch, so much so that stabilizing the spacecraft will likely delay the telescope rescue.Katalyst’s LINK spacecraft launched July 3 from a mid-air Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket mounted aboard a modified Lockheed Martin L-1011 airliner. The spacecraft lifted off after less than a year of development, on a mission to catch NASA’s nearly…
This post contains spoilers from the premiere of “Fightland.” Proceed accordingly. In the first few minutes of Starz’s “Fightland,” which premieres today, Maduka “Duke” Kilroy achieves his greatest dream: with an uppercut that lays his opponent flat, the boxer secures the role of heavyweight champion of the world. “Duke’s worked his whole life to achieve that,” Howard Charles (“Whitstable Pearl”), who plays the fighter, tells me in the video above. “You become the heavyweight champ, you’re the baddest man on the planet. So yeah, Duke reaches the mountaintop, the summit, the zenith of his attainment. Then, of course, what follows…
As The Face of Another turns 60, the Japanese New Wave director’s cinematic battlegrounds of alienation, exploitation and fractured identity remain as haunting as ever. Sometimes, a sense of self can become a burden. The spectre of exploitation; the weight of labour on someone’s back; the impossibility of existing in a sprawling, endless space. These are the feelings that are drawn out of the protagonists of Hiroshi Teshigahara’s films. The Japanese New Wave director, best known for his 1964 masterpiece The Woman in The Dunes, has had a singular fixation ever since his 1962 debut feature, Pitfall: at what point does a…

Every night, astronomers must carefully assess changing weather, the intensity of moonlight and shifting atmospheric conditions before deciding where to point a telescope. It’s a constant balancing act designed to squeeze as much science as possible from every precious hour beneath dark skies. Now, Northwestern University, University of Chicago and Fermilab scientists have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that automatically determines where a telescope should point.

Robin Platzer/twin Images/Getty Images Howard Stern made his mark in entertainment with his work in radio and hosting, but one of his lesser-remembered projects was an executive-produced parody of what was once the most watched TV show in the world: “Baywatch.” Created by David Morgasen, Timothy Stack, and “The Carol Burnett Show” writer James R. Stein, the 2000 series was titled “Son of the Beach.” The show starred Stack as Notchibald “Notch” Johnson, the older and out-of-shape leader of a band of lifeguards called the Shore Patrol Force 30 (yes,…

Greta Van Fleet have announced a new album titled Palace for the People. Ahead of its October 9th release, the band has unveiled the single “Saw You Stand.” “Saw You Stand” follows previous single “Play Your Games,” which the band released in late May. The new single starts out as a soft piano ballad, and then kicks in about a minute in as singer Josh Kiszka’s vocals reach a soaring falsetto. The album Palace for the People was co-produced by the band and Mike Elizondo (Turnstile, Fiona Apple). “We love each other just as much as ever, if not more,…
In the world of red carpet fashion, everyone tends to focus on the glamorous gowns, designer heels, and ornate jewelry. While I certainly love a good jaw-dropping dress—can you believe Zendaya’s looks for The Odyssey press tour?—a lot more goes into creating a good red carpet look than meets the eye. The correct undergarments are just as essential as the right length of pants or type of sleeve. Bras and underwear are often celebrity stylists’ secret weapon, so I’m always curious what their favorite pieces are.For the London premiere of The Shards, Kaia Gerber wore a pair of black Intimissimi…
Anthropic disclosed on Thursday that its AI models gained unauthorized access to the systems of three different unnamed organizations during cybersecurity testing. The company says Claude reached the internet “from within or while interacting” with a third-party evaluation environment. The announcement comes more than a week after OpenAI revealed that one of its AI agents hacked into Hugging Face during a separate cybersecurity test.The discovery came after Anthropic decided to conduct “a large-scale retrospective review of our own cybersecurity evaluations” following the OpenAI incident, according to a blog post Anthropic published Thursday. The AI lab says it first identified 141,006…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write this book? I love billionaire romance, and I’d never written one before, so this was on my “to-do” list for a while.

Astronomers may have just found a first-of-its-kind phenomenon buried in the shadow of one of the Milky Way’s most famous stellar explosions: two stars that died in separate supernovas, after spending millions of years orbiting each other.Using 16 years of data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, researchers detected high-energy gamma rays coming from a faint, previously overlooked supernova remnant called G189.6+3.3, which sits right beside the well-studied remnant IC 443 (nicknamed the Jellyfish Nebula). Their analysis suggests that the two remnants aren’t just neighbors by coincidence. Instead, they may be the leftover wreckage of a binary star system, making…
CBS Is there anything more delicious in the “Big Brother” house than a potentially flipped vote? I think not (although the most food-starved, slop-fueled Have Nots might be able to think of something tastier). Heading into Week 3’s live eviction episode, it seemed to be Blockbuster or bust for Jason: If he won the BB Blockbuster competition, he’d come off the block, easy peasy. If not? Eviction seemed inevitable, especially after two consecutive weeks of fueling the house’s central drama. His potential ouster, though sad for his friends in the house,…
Clothes make the man. They also make the Spider-Man. For all his vaunted powers, even with his amazing supporting cast and rogues gallery, there’s no way the Web-Slinger would have endured this long if he didn’t have that incredible costume. The red and blue suit, the web pattern, the mirrored lenses. That beautiful logo on the front and back.Show me a popular superhero, I’ll show you a great superhero costume, almost without fail. None of these characters survive if they look ridiculous soaring through the air or punching Scorpion in the face.But even the most perfect superhero costume needs to evolve with the times,…

As part of an ongoing tradition, Barack Obama shared his 2026 summer reading list on social media on July 29th. From one of this year’s big historical fiction works (Kin), to a debut novel (Seek Immediate Shelter), to a widely anticipated nonfiction book about the power of information (Data Empire), Obama’s summer 2026 reading list again showcases a diverse mix of this year’s buzzy and quieter reads.

For years, social media companies have faced pressure from users and government watchdogs to stop misinformation from distorting elections, deepening political divisions and undermining Americans’ trust in institutions. But what if dramatically reducing people’s exposure to unreliable sources that frequently spread misinformation doesn’t actually change what they believe? View Original Source Here
Bob Riha Jr/Getty Images The ’70s sitcom “Rhoda” boasted high viewership from its first episode, while Episode 8, “Rhoda’s Wedding,” had the second-highest viewership of any TV episode at the time. The first season of the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” spin-off was so successful, CBS was already looking at one of its characters, Rhoda’s sister, Brenda Morgenstern (Julie Kavner), for yet another series. The biggest indication of how unstoppable “Rhoda” seemed was the pay dispute between lead actress Valerie Harper and CBS. While Harper would be fired from her later show, “Valerie,” in…
Will Tom Holland, who we just saw struggling to live up to his father’s legacy in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, ever grow up? From his big break as one of the Billy Elliotts on the West End to the adorkable teenage web-slinger, Holland seems to have been coming-of-age for over a decade. In this latest instalment of what seems to be the only Marvel property with any real box office juice post Avengers: Endgame, four years whizz by in a montage, getting Peter Parker a smidge closer to Holland’s real life age of thirty. And while this is by far his most mature performance as the…
“You can always kind of tell, right?” Slayyyter asks Bella Kay, raising her hands off her crossed legs as a grin creeps across her face. “I can always clock when it’s AI.” Bella giggles into her cupped palms, explaining that for her, a song’s structure is usually the dead giveaway that it wasn’t human-made. “There will be, like, five choruses!” she exclaims, her orange curls shaking from her laughter. “If you really listen, the lyrics will always be something so random,” Slayyyter continues. She sings in a mock-tender voice: “ ‘And we fall-l-l-l down/And we’re in love/And we fall-l-l-l again.’…
Of all of the things you’re likely to overhear in the Who What Wear UK office, a good divisive trend is where things get juicy. “Are thongs back in?” “Are bloomers really going to replace wide-leg trousers?” “Wait, when did everyone start wearing backwards caps again?” If you’ve thought it, we’ve likely discussed it, but whether a trend has legs or not often comes down to the editors in question.Don’t get us wrong: we would never argue, but a healthy debate can ignite across the boardroom table when it comes to controversial trends.

On Tuesday, the day after hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants effectively lost their temporary protected status that allowed them to live and work in the US, Republican pundit Steve Bannon wasted little time in demanding their instant removal.“I was under the assumption that when they pulled TPS and their eligibility for that program ended … they were going to be boarding planes or buses today … today, this morning at dawn to go back to Haiti,” said Bannon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, on his War Room podcast on Tuesday. “Why are they not out of the…
The Scoop by Erin Van Der Meer “Positively crackling with energy and intelligence, Erin Van Der Meer has written a caustic masterpiece with “The Scoop” that may leave readers, as they breezily scroll through news and entertainment sites, questioning what is real and what really matters.” Author Erin Van Der Meer gained insider perspective and in-depth experience as a journalist, which served her well in writing the bitingly satirical debut novel, The Scoop. It’s an irresistible, stay-up-late, guilty reading pleasure about protagonist Frankie Miller, a recently unemployed journalist weighed down by multiple rejections from reputable publications and overdue…
Using laser scanning technology to peer beneath the dense canopy of the Amazon rainforest, archaeologists have discovered hundreds of ancient earthworks that were made by a complex, enigmatic society over two millennia ago, a new study finds.This ancient civilization, called the Aquiry, arose 2,500 years ago in Brazil. Based on the large number of earthworks, called geoglyphs, the Aquiry may have had 3 million people before the society collapsed, the researchers suggested in the study.”The cultures and societies that composed the Aquiry shared a common worldview and constructed ceremonial centers in a variety of monumental geometric forms, characterized by deep…
