James Webb Spots Planets Forming Into Solar System in Real Time, Like an Organism's First Cells

Astronomers have spotted a planetary system being conceived from the swirl of gas and dust surrounding a star — giving us an unprecedented, real-time look at how our solar system would've formed some 4.6 billion years ago. The findings, published as a study in the journal Nature, are the first time we're seeing such an early stage of planets being formed anywhere in the cosmos.

Early last year, Kuxiu released its X33 Pro Max iPad stand. It was the first stand to incorporate pin connectors into a magnetic stand to be able to charge your iPad. It was a fantastic idea. As a stand, it’s built very well, is high quality, does everything you need a stand to do, and gets the job done, but the fact that it also instantly charges the iPad was a game-changer for my setups.

No More Waiting: New Crypto Law Unlocks Cheaper, Faster Money for Everyone

For more than a decade, cryptocurrency lived in legal limbo. It was too weird to regulate, too volatile to trust, and too new for Washington to take seriously. That just changed. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the GENIUS Act, the first major federal law regulating stablecoins, digital currencies backed by the U.S. dollar. The bill now heads to President Trump’s desk, where it’s expected to become law. Here’s what it means for you, your money, and the financial system around you.
