Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Gemini Space is an upcoming upgrade to the Pixel’s At a Glance experience. It’s seemingly inspired by Samsung’s Now bar and Now Brief, which show contextual cards on the lock screen and other places. In its current state, Gemini Space displays sports and birthday cards, but finance and Daily Hub features are expected in the future. We’ve previously spotted Google working on a feature called Gemini Space for Pixel devices. Based on the handful of clues

Bold Mission to Hunt for Aliens on Venus Is Happening

A UK-based mission is aiming to settle, once and for all, whether life exists on Venus. The mission plans to send a probe to the planet in search of microbial life, not on the surface, of course, but in the Venusian clouds. Over the past half-decade, scientists have detected the presence of phosphine and ammonia—two potential signs of biological activity—in Venus’s clouds. On Earth, both gases are produced only by biological activity and industrial processes, and scientists are unsure of their

The Structure of Ice in Space Is Neither Order nor Chaos—It’s Both

wired.com Jorge Garay 2026-01-27 11:00:00

Ice is a key component in the universe. There are frozen water molecules on comets, moons, exoplanets, and in your drink as you cool off from the summer heat. However, under the microscope, not all ice is the same, even though it is made of the same components. The internal structure of Earth’s ice is a cosmological oddity. Its molecules are arranged in geometric structures, usually hexagons that repeat each other. Ice on Earth forms this way due to the temperature and pressure of the our plane

Unlike other refurbished offerings, Apple guarantees a replaced outer shell, battery, and glass – ensuring no wear and tear. You also get a 1 year Apple warranty and the ability to add AppleCare if you’d like. That sounds great, but is it actually worth it? Well, it depends.
