There’s been no shortage of rumors about Apple’s supposed intentions of acquiring an AI search company, such as Perplexity, to help it catch up in the AI race. And while many seem to agree that this would be at least a partial solution to Apple’s problems, Morgan Stanley isn’t that convinced. In an investor note published today (via AppleInsider), Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring states that it is “misguided” to think that Apple should acquire an AI search engine, as it is not the company’s

Astronomers Spot Companion Star in Orbit Around Iconic Star Betelgeuse, Confirming Suspicions

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-10 16:50:48

In 2024, astronomers surmised that Betelgeuse might have a stellar “buddy.” If this hypothetical companion existed, it would help answer some questions about the red supergiant’s strange glowing patterns. As it turns out, these suspicions were correct. After numerous false signals and empty search results, astronomers with NASA’s Ames Research Center have confirmed that Betelgeuse does, in fact, have a tiny buddy star.

As Donald Trump has given the automotive industry whiplash with his tariffs, which have, at different periods, applied to cars and car parts or haven’t applied at all. While it was hard to tell how the import tax would hit auto manufacturers, the impact is starting to look more concrete, and it ain’t pretty.

‘Ice Cubes in a Volcano’: Scientists Baffled by Mysterious Clouds in Center of the Milky Way

In the center of our galaxy, gigantic, balloon-like structures of high-energy radiation extend thousands of light-years above and below the Milky Way’s plane.
