NASA is warning of yet another five asteroids headed our way in the first half of this week, as the agency’s leading asteroid expert claims to have solved the mystery of the ‘minimoon’ set to enter earth’s orbit. Amid a flurry of asteroidal activity as we enter the final few months of 2020, NASA’s asteroid hunters have flagged five more space rocks en route ranging in size from 5.5m all the way up to a whopping 45m. On October 12, two asteroids spotted in the past four days, are due to fly past: the 5.5-meter 2020 TS1 will pass closer to […]
Six galaxies have been revealed to be trapped in a supermassive black hole that formed less than one billion years after the Big Bang, shedding light on how some of the largest structures in the universe are brought into being. In research published on Thursday, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) detailed the discovery of a truly gargantuan black hole, roughly one billion times the mass of our sun, and how it managed to capture entire galaxies of planets and stars. The black hole, and the disc of matter around it is collectively known as quasar SDSS J103027.09+052455.0. Marco Mignoli, an astronomer […]

Scott Applewhite/AP The flag flies at half-staff Saturday at the Supreme Court on the morning after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. J. Scott Applewhite/AP Judges Amy Coney Barrett, Barbara Lagoa and Amul Thapar are being seriously considered by President Trump for nomination to fill the seat on the Supreme Court vacated by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to sources familiar with the process.

The US considers China a “revisionist power” seeking to upend the post-Cold War world order, but what Americans misunderstand about China is that competition doesn’t necessarily mean a fight to the death for supremacy, a journalist told Sputnik. In fact, Washington’s reaction might just provoke China into chasing that goal. Peter Lavelle, host of RT’s “CrossTalk,” told Radio Sputnik’s Fault Lines on Monday that what Westerners misunderstand the most about China is that they feel that having established itself as top dog around the world, the US then kicked the ladder out from under it, making it “against the rules” for […]
“Difficult” is not a word that one should have to use in connection with an Emmy nomination. Yet, as excited as Billy Porter is feeling about his second best actor nod for FX’s Pose, that is how he described what it’s like to finally feel seen while the establishment continues to deny your colleagues the recognition they deserve. Despite Porter’s back-to-back nominations—and his victory at last year’s ceremony, which he says “actually changed my life”—the trans women who perform alongside him in FX’s groundbreaking series have been ignored. Again. Even Mj Rodriguez, who gives the show its unflappable spirit as ensemble […]
The college town of Pullman, Washington, is in the midst of a COVID-19 crisis. It has one of the highest per capita infection rates in the country; the National Guard was called in to help with testing; and Washington State University asked students to stay on campus last weekend to avoid spreading the virus. And yet, last Friday, more than two dozen people gathered in the driveway of WSU Head Women’s Basketball Coach Kamie Ethridge’s house for what she later described to police as a “mini block party.” An incident report from the evening in question, read to The Daily Beast […]

Gladly, modern technology provides plenty of opportunity for this highly-relaxing procedure. An amusing cross-eyed cat wearing a stripped sweater has been filmed while receiving a head massage with a special electronic massage device. The feline’s utterly relaxed and somewhat goofy expression on the snout says it all – the device must have hit just the right spot. Source link

But videos of two animals helping and caring for one another are reassuring. A video from India has captured one such rare moment. It shows an elephant and a cow feasting from the same tree branch. While the pachyderm looked unfazed by the cow’s presence, the latter moved a distance away from the jumbo after grabbing its share. Source link
Roman Abramovich could be poised for an historic summer of spending after his Chelsea team secured Champions League qualifications on a breathless and long-delayed final day of the 2019-20 Premier League campaign. A brace late in first-half stoppage time from Mason Mount and Oliver Giroud sealed a crucial three points for the West Londoners to ensure that they finish in the top four on what was the latest-ever final day to an English top flight season. The win, coupled with Manchester United toppling Leicester at the King Power Stadium, ensures that it will be Lampard’s Chelsea and Solksjaer’s United who take […]
The puzzling circular objects were captured on cameras during a survey involving the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope, and proved to feature, quite unexpectedly, no commonly observed optical, infrared, or X-ray counterparts to the diffuse emission. An Australia-based research group has discovered a never-before-seen space phenomenon – circles of radio waves now dubbed “odd radio circles”, or more commonly ORCs, leaving scientists puzzled as to what could have caused them, a review in Nature Astronomy suggests. The results of the study have yet to be peer-reviewed. The objects were zoomed in on while the researchers were conducting a survey of […]

It looks legitimate with all the happy customer testimonials, FOMO-inducing promises and easy-to-use dashboards that look like so many other financial sites. The language is open, breezy but sometimes, well, odd.

Thought 2020 couldn’t get any more dystopian? You thought wrong. Boston Dynamics has announced that it’ll now sell its ‘Black Mirror’-esque robot dog, Spot, to anyone willing to plump up the cash. A global pandemic, worldwide lockdowns and a wave of rioting have thus far made this an eventful year. Now, Boston Dynamics is throwing its latest quadruped robot into the mix. Affectionately named ‘Spot,’ the robot dog is billed as a multipurpose “mobility platform” that can be outfitted with a range of sensors and programmed to patrol anywhere a human can go, or beyond.

US 06:56 GMT 19.05.2020Get short URL Grande and Bieber pushed back against the accusations, saying that it was Billboard’s weighting approach and their fans who helped them get the No. 1 Spot in the Billboard Hot 100. The chart has also denied claims of corruption and insisted that the Grande/Bieber collaboration ‘Stuck With U’ had won fair and square. American rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has accused Billboard of rigging their charts after a song by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber beat out his new track. Tekashi released ‘Gooba’, the lead single to his upcoming 2020 studio album, on 8 May, the same […]
Russia’s National Guard have added a steampunk vibe to the coronavirus dystopia as they launched a blimp to monitor how the lockdown is observed in the Moscow Region. Not everyone was impressed, though. Equipped with the OKO (“eye”) surveillance system, the air balloon was deployed to hover several hundred meters above the ground, allowing the servicemen to observe an area of around five square kilometers. The blimp’s prime task is to monitor the park and forest areas during the quarantine. The data gathered by the OKO system is transferred to the patrols on the ground in real time, who are then […]
