New Webb image shows star formation as glittering, craggy peaks

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-13 06:30:01

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in the galaxy called Pismis 24, showing swirling dust and infant stars in unprecedented detail. The image was captured in infrared light by Webb's NIRCam (near-infrared camera), with false color detail added afterwards. It shows the Pismis 24 star cluster located in the Lobster Nebula around 5,500 light

Star Wars fans with knowledge of the old lore—whether from books, comics, or games—have long had to console themselves that seeing some of their favorite characters represented in mainstream media would likely never come to pass. But the upcoming Disney+ Lego Star Wars show is doing some of those stalwart fans a solid by reintroducing a much-loved, but overlooked character: Darth Revan.

In a bizarre (or hilarious) late-night episode that underscored public unease with autonomous vehicles, several men climbed onto stalled Waymo robotaxis in San Francisco’s Marina District and began attacking them. They then started sitting and climbing on them, and are one point began doing back flips off the driverless cars while a crowd cheered. City police eventually cleared the scene, but the incident highlights growing tensions over deployments of robotaxis in urban areas. So what happen

Eufy Just Launched an Autonomous Shell That Carries Robot Vacuums Up Stairs

1,000-Year-Old Viking Object Reveals How They Likely Styled Their Hair

Hair parted in the middle, cropped at the back, with a wavy lock styled above one ear. That’s not my haircut of choice, but if you were an elite Viking, it may well have been. That’s the upshot of a study published last month in the journal Medieval Archaeology in which researchers re-examined a roughly one-inch-tall (three centimeters) Viking gaming piece that dates back more than 1,000 years. It was originally discovered among the burial things of a presumed Viking warrior in Norway in 1797 a

NASA Finds Evidence That Mars Devoured Huge Chunks of Other Planets

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-15 13:00:06

The Red Planet has a bloody history. Newly examined data from NASA's retired InSight lander suggest that there may be giant chunks of rocky material deep inside the mantle of Mars, which were lodged there after a barrage of massive objects slammed into its surface some 4.5 billion years ago. Some of these smithereens are so large, the researchers say, that they're effectively protoplanets — moon-sized objects in the early stages of becoming a planet proper.

Eufy just introduced a couple of new devices at the IFA conference in Germany, including something called the MarsWalker.
