What just happened? Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service finally launched yesterday (June 23) in Austin, Texas. So far, it has been limited to invited participants and not the general public, and passengers aren't alone in the vehicles; Tesla's "safety monitors" sit in the front passenger seat ready to take over if something goes wrong – despite Elon Musk promising the service would launch unsupervised.

Danny Boyle Explains How ’28 Years Later’ Got its Creepy Poem

Before 28 Years Later’s release, you probably saw its trailers, which featured a recording of man performing a military chant alongside visuals of the film’s destroyed world and infected. That would be “Boots,” a 1903 poem by Jungle Book creator Rudyard Kipling (and performed by Taylor Holmes in 1915) inspired by the monotony of British soldiers marching hundreds of miles in southern Africa. But it’s not just in the trailers, it’s also in the film when Spike and his dad Jamie leave their isolate

How did the cosmos transform from a uniform sea of darkness into a chaotic swirl brimming with radiant stars? What were these first stars like, and how were they born?

But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands.
