Elegoo has kicked off an early Black Friday sale running through December 1, cutting prices on its resin and filament 3D printers by up to 54%. Bundle deals pair printers with consumables, such as the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 with 1KG of filament for $270, and the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K with 1KG of resin for $400.
MediaMarkt Saturn removed Ledger hardware wallets from its European stores and website on October 13 after a German customer discovered an unauthorized implant inside a device, with no funds lost in that case. Ledger confirmed the retailer pulled the affected products and said the two firms remain in contact. The incident follows an earlier Ledger disclosure on October 10 that devices sold by reseller CryptoBilis in Southeast Asia contained a similar hidden component.
Skywatchers can spot every planet in the solar system at some point during October, according to CNET's monthly sky guide. Mercury's best viewing falls around Oct. 12 during its elongation, while Venus becomes visible after sunset only by Oct. 31. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are visible on most or all nights throughout the month.
Researchers built a laboratory model replicating conditions in the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus to test how microscopic organisms might fare there. The simulation examined whether microbial life could endure the moon's icy, salty environment.
Researchers led by Frank Postberg found that as ocean droplets from Enceladus shoot through icy cracks at speeds up to 1,000 km/h, they shatter into micrometer-sized ice particles that often contain a single, concentrated substance from the moon's subsurface ocean. This natural separation process mimics chemical lab preparation, isolating individual oceanic components into distinct ice grains before they are ejected into space.
Elegoo is offering its Saturn 4 Ultra 16K resin 3D printer for $399, down from $649.99, as part of a limited-time Elegoo Day promotion. The printer features a 16K, 11,520 x 5,120 resolution LCD screen, an integrated vat heater, upgraded Wi-Fi, auto-bed leveling, and a built-in camera for monitoring prints.
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have identified a ten-sided cloud formation encircling Saturn's south pole, a counterpart to the long-known hexagon at the planet's north pole. The decagon, detailed in a new Science Advances study, has sides roughly 16,800 kilometers long and sits near a jet stream blowing close to 260 miles per hour, even though the shape itself drifts at less than 6 mph.
A team led by Agustín Sánchez-Lavega of the University of the Basque Country has identified a giant ten-sided atmospheric wave encircling Saturn's south pole, mirroring the famous six-sided hexagon long observed at the planet's north pole. The feature was first glimpsed in amateur astronomer images from 2024 and confirmed through further analysis in 2025.
Randall Munroe's 2012 diagram Up Goer Five, which described the Saturn V rocket using only the thousand most common English words, spawned a wave of imitators among science communicators trying to simplify their own fields the same way. Critics, including Carl Zimmer, pushed back, arguing the trend was condescending and a distraction rather than a genuine tool for public understanding of science.
