In 2020, a group of scientists came up with an explanation for strange inconsistencies in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere. They suggested that ice-encrusted mushballs rain down during intense thunderstorms on the gas giant. At the time, however, the notion of ammonia-packed slushee hailstones seemed too weird to be true, so they spent the next several years trying to prove it wrong. But Jupiter’s mushballs could not be denied. New research confirmed the bizarre phenomenon not only exists—it could be

For nearly a decade, a large probe has braved the harsh Jovian environment to bring us mesmerizing, close-up views of Jupiter and its moons. But sometimes, the gas giant gets the best of it. The Juno mission recently went into an unexpected safe mode during a scheduled flyby of Jupiter, temporarily powering down its science instruments. Juno was making its 71st close approach to Jupiter when it entered its precautionary status twice on April 4 as it was flying by the gas giant, NASA recently re

On September 22, 1982, another small home computer was launched in the UK. Named Jupiter Ace, it was created by Jupiter Cantab Limited, a tiny startup founded by two engineers who had previously designed Sinclair ZX Spectrum: Steven Vickers and Richard Altwasser. From Jupiter Ace Manual What distinguished Jupiter Ace from many similar computers of its era was that its ROM contained Forth instead of a BASIC interpreter. It was not enough to make it commercial success and the production ceased a

Even gargantuan Jupiter, with its whirling superstorms and volatile temperatures, has a soft side. A team of researchers recently documented stellar winds from the Sun, squishing the planet’s magnetosphere and raising the temperatures in the planet’s atmosphere by 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). The team’s research, published today in Geophysical Research Letters, is the first to document this phenomenon—a burst of solar energy hitting Jupiter. That said, the scientists believe th

There is a cursed vape somewhere in NYC that holds the soul of a Tamagotchi. If you stop vaping, the digital pet dies. Only engineers who once worked for Meta and weapons manufacturer Anduril could create a machine so heinous. And that’s exactly what they did at the annual NYU Stupid Hackathon last month. Stupid hackathons are a tradition in the software engineer, hacker, and maker space. Every year across the country people come together to use their skills to make very dumb things. Past inven

I don’t usually like to call out the bad behaviour of specific companies, but the egregious mis-design and lack of acknowledging it justify this case. Welcome to OkCupid A couple of weeks ago, I started seeing many “Welcome to OkCupid” emails, both on my personal address and a couple of related addresses, but also to multiple Fastmail official contact addresses — legal, partnerships, press, etc. Specifically, this list included [email protected] — an address that has never been used to send or r

Though sleep is a time to power down and replenish our energy, our brains remain surprisingly active when we’re at rest. In fact, more goes on behind our closed eyelids than we previously thought, according to a team of researchers that recently analyzed eye movements during slumber. In a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature Communications, researchers in Switzerland analyzed the pupils of sleeping participants. The study reveals that our pupils constantly change size while we’re unc

Behold, the latest dark entity purportedly birthed out of our not-so-brave new world: a Tamagotchi, housed inside of a vape, that croaks if you stop hitting that sweet sweet juice. The Tamagotchi in question was apparently presented during a "Stupid Hackathon" put on by New York University (NYU) Tisch School's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) and Interactive Media Arts departments. There, according to the ITP website, students enrolled in the programs are invited to "make something

NASA's Europa Clipper is about to use Mars' gravitational pull to slingshot itself as it makes its way to Jupiter's fourth-largest moon later this week. The craft launched from the agency's Kennedy Space Center in October 2024, embarking on a 1.8-billion-mile journey to the gas giant. The goal is to reach Europa, the smallest of the planet's four Galilean moons, in April 2030, as part of the first mission specifically designed to study the under 2,000-mile-across space rock.
