Zack Snyder Can’t Let ‘Rebel Moon’ Die

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-23 18:15:44

Remember Rebel Moon? Netflix’s two-part movie series created by Zack Snyder, released in late 2023 and early 2024, which then had two longer, bloodier versions released that same year? Snyder’s answer to Star Wars, in which he created his own sci-fi world from the ground up? Ring a bell? If not, that’s because they did well on the streamer but didn’t quite resonate culturally like most probably hoped. Nevertheless, it seems Snyder isn’t ready to give up on the franchise just yet.

New Video-Generating AI Trained 100 Percent on Public Domain Films

Few tech products have been as broadly contentious as video-generating artificial intelligence. These complex algorithms, which cleave millions of datapoints together into seconds-long gobs of video, are notoriously trained on proprietary material, leading to widespread ethical and legal concerns. (That's before we even mention how much energy it takes to synthesize an AI video.) Tech billionaires tend to argue that this is simply the way things need to be — if you want AI, we need to feed it

Moonvalley’s ‘ethical’ AI video model for filmmakers is now publicly available

The team at Moonvalley, a Los Angeles-based AI video generation startup, doesn’t think you can prompt your way to making a movie. That’s why the company on Tuesday opened up its “3D-aware” model to the public, promising a “hybrid” approach that gives filmmakers more control than other standard text-to-video models. Moonvalley first launched its model, named Marey, in beta in March, and has now released it as a monthly credits-based subscription. Users can pay $14.99 for 100 credits, $34.99 for

Scientists Investigate What Happens If You Snort Moon Dust

Finally, science has an answer! The Good Stuff Wondering whether snorting Moon dust will kill you? Don't worry: science is on it. A recent study conducted by a team of Australian researchers and published in the journal Life Sciences in Space Research found that lunar dust is probably way less dangerous than space science previously feared — and, actually, might be less dangerous for humans than Earthborne air pollution.

Moonbase Alpha: That time NASA made a meme video game

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-20 07:13:38

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States, has tried many different ways to encourage public interest in science education and space exploration. That included a brief pivot to video game publishing, of all things. In 2009, NASA teamed up with multiple video game studios to create a space-themed MMO. The result was a moon base simulator game that became a meme: Moonbase Alpha. To the Moon Virtual Heroes was founded in 2004 as a game studio focused on trainin

Why the Shortest Day of Your Life Could Happen This Summer

Earth might be about to spin out its fastest day on record. And no one knows why. On July 9, 22, or August 5, our planet might complete the fastest spin on its axis ever recorded, breaking last year’s record, according to Graham Jones, an astrophysicist writing for timeanddate.com—a website dedicated to tracking time and time zones. According to the website, Earth spins faster when the Moon’s orbit takes it significantly north or south relative to the equator (among other factors). The differe

Scientists Investigating Small Orange Objects Coating Surface of the Moon

The Moon may look gray, but up close it's a whole 'nother story. Left on Bead Over half a century ago, Apollo astronauts encountered something surprising littering the desolate lunar surface: a vast number of tiny orange beads. As Universe Today reports, scientists have long proposed that these beads, each smaller than a grain of sand, date back to over three billion years ago, when volcanic eruptions on the now-inert natural satellite were still commonplace.

James Webb Peers Into Mysterious Haze Covering Pluto

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have peered into a mysterious blue haze cloaking the surface of Pluto — and discovered that it's controlling the dwarf planet's climate and atmosphere. The findings, reported in a new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, also hint that other worlds, including our own, may have a hazy history as well, potentially reshaping our understanding of how the Earth came to possess its current climate.

A Closer Look At Uranus’s Moons Reveals a Surprising Dark Side

The moons that orbit Uranus are already known to have unusual characteristics: some are heavily cratered, others have tectonic features or a patchwork of ridges and cliffs. Using the Hubble space telescope, scientists took a closer look at the surface of Uranus’s four largest moons and discovered something rather unexpected. For the study, a team of astronomers went searching for signs of interactions between Uranus’s magnetic field and its four largest moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Obero

The Mysterious Inner Workings of Io, Jupiter’s Volcanic Moon

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Scott Bolton’s first encounter with Io took place in the summer of 1980, right after he graduated from college and started a job at NASA. The Voyager 1 spacecraft had flown past this moon of Jupiter, catching the first glimpse of active volcanism on a world other than Earth. Umbrella-shaped outbursts of magmatic matter rocketed into space from all over Io’s surface. “They looked amazingly beautiful,” said Bolton, who is now based a

It Kinda Sounds Like NASA Is Gutting Its Plans for a Moon Landing

futurism.com Unknown 2025-06-02 14:03:01

NASA's plans to return to the Moon are seemingly on very thin ice. As Reuters reports, NASA has lost four key senior Artemis officials, further stoking concerns that the space agency may ditch its plans to return to the Moon altogether. Whether they'll ever be replaced remains as dubious as ever; both president Donald Trump and SpaceX-CEO-slash-unelected-White-House-hatchet-man Elon Musk have argued that going to Mars should take priority. The outgoing officials, according to Reuters, include
