Full Moon: Seestar S50 vs. Samsung S25

The full moon is one of those sights that almost begs to be photographed, no matter what camera you’re using. Most of the time, that means a smartphone, and to be fair, modern phones are excellent at handling bright subjects like the moon. Of course, a telescope should reveal far more than a phone camera, but I wanted to see just how big that difference really is. So last night, under clear skies, I took two photos.

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web.

VPNs and Age-Verification Laws: What You Need to Know

The problem is how the verification happens. You aren’t verifying your age with the government. You’re routing it through an independent third party, and most of the laws on the books are designed specifically in this way. In the UK, for example, Reddit verifies with Persona, and Bluesky uses Kids Web Services (owned by Epic Games).
