Experimental Propulsion Tech Could Reach Mysterious Planet Beyond Pluto in 10 Years

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-02-19 10:21:13

On November 14, 2003, astronomers spotted what was at the time the most distant known object orbiting the Sun. They called it Sedna after the Inuit goddess of the ocean. It’s a cold, reddish dwarf planet that drifts billions of miles away from the Sun during its 10,000-year orbit before coming in for a relatively close approach to our star. Its next perihelion is happening in July 2076, and astronomers want to take advantage of this rare encounter by flying a mission to the mysterious object. A

Nothing Phone 3 arrives July 15 with a tiny dot matrix rear display

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-19 10:14:49

Nothing, a startup from OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, has announced its first flagship phone since 2023. The company bills its new Nothing Phone 3 as a "true flagship" device, but it doesn't have the absolute best hardware you can get in a mobile device. Neither does it have the highest price, clocking in at a mere $799. That's shaping up to be a good value, but it's also the highest price yet for a Nothing phone. A few weeks back, Nothing teased the end of its trademark Glyph interface. Indeed,

‘Foundation’ Season 3 Digs Into What It’s Like for a Robot to Have an Existential Crisis

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-02-19 15:45:02

Foundation, Apple TV+’s adaptation of the famed Isaac Asimov novels, takes place in a galaxy facing an imminent, mathematically predicted age of darkness. It’s troubling, especially for Empire, the genetic dynasty of clones named Cleon that’s been in power for centuries, but it’s not as bad as all-out extinction. But as season three begins, certain among Foundation‘s characters learn the math has changed, and total doomsday is all but certain. Some react to this news—signaled by worrisome chang

When multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk returned to Tesla in May, it was met with a surge of enthusiasm from investors who feared he'd given up on the embattled carmaker during his disastrous stint in government. But that optimism has dimmed significantly as Musk has brought his signature aura of chaos and disappointment back to Tesla — and it's clear in the company's stock price, which has actually fallen since his homecoming in late May.
