I took a walk with Meta's new Oakley smart glasses - they beat my Ray-Bans in every way

zdnet.com Sabrina Ortiz 2025-07-20 04:45:12

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET The Meta Ray-Bans have been a success since their launch, with consumers (like me) drawn to their regular form factor packed with mics, cameras, speakers, and AI. Now, Meta is catering to a more athletic audience with its new Meta Oakley smart glasses -- and with them, it has upped the ante across nearly every spec. As a glasses wearer, photo fanatic, and AI reporter, it was an absolute no-brainer for me to purchase the Meta Ray-Bans. After months of trying them, I was most

They're white. They're gold. They're very round. They make me look sort of like a guy who should be on a boat. Meta's next designer line of smart glasses has arrived. Meta Ray-Bans have been around for years, but the new line of Oakley HSTN glasses arriving this summer adds another, sportier style option. They also promise boosts over the Ray-Bans, both in battery life and video-recording resolution. How would they look on my face, though? I finally got an answer when I tried out a pair of the

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Stellar Death Shrouds

In brilliant new images, the James Webb Space Telescope has captured a rare glimpse at the gaseous "shrouds" that surround dying stars before they go supernova. Known as Wolf-Rayet stars, which were discovered nearly 160 years ago by astronomers Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet at the Paris Observatory and named in their honor, these ancient stars are, as Space.com notes, surrounded by a "shroud" of cosmic dust that will eventually explode outward and lay the foundations for new stars.

Mysterious Signals From Deep Space Hint at Something Brutal, Scientists Say

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-31 14:15:00

Astronomers believe they've uncovered the source behind mysterious cosmic signals known as fast X-ray transients (FXTs) — and it adds a grim twist to our understanding of the death of stars. Right as a massive star explodes in a supernova, it unleashes a tremendously energetic stream of particles called a jet, producing a gamma ray burst — one of the most powerful explosions in the universe. The rest of the star, typically, collapses into a black hole. But a pair of new studies suggests that t

Whenever we study space, we’re usually talking about long-lasting objects, like our own solar system or faraway galaxies that occasionally catch our attention when something extraordinary happens. But sometimes, the universe sends us quick, random bursts of energy that are usually too far away and too ephemeral for scientists to make any sense of—like fast X-ray transients (FXTs), whose elusive origins have long evaded astronomers.
