Nintendo revenue doubles as Switch 2 sales top 5.8 million units

What just happened? Nintendo has a hit with its new Switch 2 console, and now it has the numbers to prove it. For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026, the company more than doubled its net sales, jumping from 246.6 billion yen to 572.3 billion yen (roughly $3.9 billion). That figure easily beat analyst expectations, with LSEG forecasting just 474.84 billion yen. Operating profit checked in at 56.9 billion yen versus the 53.46 billion yen that Wall Street was anticipating. Un

The Longest Sightline on Earth

See, all the examples above are limited by the curvature of the earth, and that is why the horizon seems to be the limiting factor. But there are two additional variables in play that can allow for some truly amazing sightlines: the height of the target and the temperature of the air. The height of the target is intuitively obvious, as we all realize we can see Calgary's skyline from way further away than 4.7 km. In fact, Calgary's skyline can be seen at least 50 km away since the height of the
