Hayabusa2’s 2031 Landing Plan Faces an Unexpected Asteroid Nightmare

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-24 20:00:08

On December 6, 2020, the Hayabusa2 spacecraft dropped off pristine samples from asteroid Ryugu in the Australian outback, becoming the world’s second asteroid sample return mission, after the first Hayabusa mission returned dusty samples from asteroid Itokawa in 2010. But Hayabusa2 still has more to offer. That same spacecraft is currently on its way to another distant space rock, aiming to snag more samples to help scientists compile the solar system’s origin story. Recent observations of the

A Collision With Another Planet Could Have Allowed for Life on Earth

wired.com Jorge Garay 2025-09-24 20:00:00

the Earth you walk on today might not be the same planet that was born 4.5 billion years ago. Many scientists believe that in its infancy, Earth collided with another world the size of Mars, and that instead of being destroyed, it was transformed, incorporating the mass of that foreign body to become the planet we know. Recent research adds another layer of relevance to that hypothesized cosmic event: Scientists believe that without that other body, the basic conditions for life to emerge on Ear

Cybercriminals have a new way of sending millions of scam text messages to people. Typically when fraudsters send waves of phishing messages to phones—such as toll or delivery scams—they may use a huge list of phone numbers and automate the sending of messages. But as phone companies and telecom services have rolled out more tools to detect scams in texts, criminals have started driving around cities with fake cell phone towers that send messages directly to nearby phones.

How to Debug Chez Scheme Programs R. Kent Dybvig August 2002 When a program fails to operate as it should, it is said to have a bug. A bug is the root cause of an observed behavior, such as failure to terminate, failure to perform some action, termination with an error message, or merely producing incorrect results. The process of debugging a program is one of finding all of the bugs and "exterminating" them. This process first requires feeding the program a representative set of test cases,

For years, the Chinese tech industry has been dependent on the US and its allies for the advanced semiconductors — colloquially known as "chips" — that undergird the AI industry. As the "AI race" has heated up to a fever pitch, chips have become its chief commodity — and bottleneck, as companies compete to build out the infrastructure they believe will run a multi-trillion dollar market.

But how we got digits in the first place hasn't been entirely clear. The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just have a large collection of rays supporting their fins.

We were pretty underwhelmed by the iPhone 16e when it debuted earlier this year, mostly due to its $599 price tag, which makes it a poor replacement for the budget-oriented iPhone SE. And now that the iPhone 17 has debuted, the 16e makes even less sense. For $200 more, you get a larger and better screen with ProMotion, support for MagSafe wireless charging, a zippier processor, two cameras instead of one — and double the storage.
