In September 2022, NASA’s DART spacecraft rammed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos at nearly 15,000 miles per hour (24,000 kilometers per hour). The mission aimed to test whether NASA could one day use this technique to save Earth from an oncoming asteroid, and a new analysis suggests it could work. Before we dive into the findings, a bit of context. Dimorphos is part of a binary asteroid system, meaning it orbits a much larger asteroid called Didymos. This system poses no threat to Earth, but it did serve as the perfect natural laboratory for NASA to test its kinetic impactor…

But perhaps the biggest star of the show was a sleepy-eyed blue whale lounging louchely on the bench. His lucky seatmate? Actor Hari Nef, who christened him “Humberto.”“I think I summoned ‘Humberto’ out of the ether,” Nef tells Vogue of her name inspiration. But she eventually had a change of heart. “I switched to ‘Antonio’ which is more popular in Andalusia,” she says. “I wanted to be authentic!”VogueVon Bonin’s work served as a…

Over the past few months, several countries have announced plans to restrict social media access for children and teens. Australia became the first to implement such measures at the end of last year, setting a precedent that other countries are now closely watching.  Australia’s regulations, along with other countries’ proposals, aim to reduce the pressures and risks that young users may face on social media, which include cyberbullying, addiction, mental health issues, and exposure to predators.  Of course, there are concerns about privacy regarding invasive age verification and excessive government intervention. Critics, including Amnesty Tech, have said such bans are…

While this assembly works well and allows for the mouse to be incredibly lightweight and rigid, I found a few concerns with repairability. With both shells, there is a risk of repeated disassembly breaking the plastic clips. With the carbon fiber shell, there is also a risk of the threads in the upper shell becoming stripped if the screws are over-tightened, something that is made worse by the fact that the screws used are self-tapping.Typically, anything made from carbon fiber or lightweight plastic would use metal inserts inside of the material to prevent stripping, but this has not been done…
