Large Object From Interstellar Space Detected Heading Toward Center of Solar System

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-04 15:37:47

A new interstellar object has been spotted careening into the solar system at an extremely unusual trajectory. If its interstellar origins were to be confirmed, it'd only be the third of its kind spotted in the solar system in history. An oblong interstellar object, dubbed 'Oumuamua, was first discovered in 2017, while comet 2I/Borisov was detected in 2019. The latest addition, provisionally named A11pl3Z, has a highly unusual trajectory, leading astronomers to believe it may have also origina

Wooting was one of the first analog keyboard brands to break into the mainstream.

Later, when it debuted its Lekker Hall effect switch in the Wooting Two, it was one of the first companies to utilize the technology for gaming. Things ramped up in 2020 with the rele

The latest version of U.S. President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" could make it cheaper for semiconductor manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. as Washington continues its efforts to strengthen its domestic chip supply chain.

That's more than the 30% increase that had made it into a draft version of the bill. Companies eligible for the credits could include chipmakers
