SpaceX’s upcoming stock launch has sparked a small but active betting game in crypto circles. Instead of waiting for the official public offering, some traders are using special crypto contracts to guess the company’s future stock price. These contracts, called perpetual futures, don’t have an end d
Climate change is turning hail into a bigger, costlier threat. A new study shows that as the world warms, storms will produce more large hailstones—those bigger than a marble—and fewer smaller ones. By the end of this century, the frequency of large hail could rise between 38 % and 47 %, depending
Space horror has always depended on one key idea: making players feel completely out of control. Yet in one recent title, the thrill fades fast because the danger feels scripted rather than surprising. The story begins with a spaceship overrun by a creature that shifts appearance without warning. Th
Deep in the Galápagos waters lives a small blue octopus most people have never seen. It’s so tiny it fits in the space between a person’s palm and middle finger. Scientists first spotted this creature in 2015 using a robot camera diving about a mile and a half below the surface. The creature captur
Space travel has many challenges, and laundry is one of the oddest. Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) can’t wash clothes the way we do on Earth. Water behaves differently in microgravity, and loose droplets could damage equipment. Instead, they bring limited clothes, sometimes wear

Space missions face a big problem: their computers are slow and outdated. Most current chips, like the RAD750, rely on old technology that struggles with modern tasks. That’s where a new NASA-Microchip project comes in. They’ve created a small but powerful processor called HPSC, designed to handle t
Climate shifts are reshaping the ocean, and Brazil’s coast faces big changes. The rough-toothed dolphin, a top ocean hunter, depends on specific waters to survive. But as temperatures rise and ocean chemistry shifts, these dolphins may struggle to find safe places to live. The same goes for their fo

The launch window opens at 10:13 a. m. on Wednesday, April 29, and the company has until 11:38 a. m. to push it of
