We are all standing on the backs of Giants. The scale of which is so grand, that it's almost impossible to comprehend.

Scientists might have discovered a "slow-moving object in our Solar System" that could be the fabled Planet X

You spend $40 on toys for your cat.
Your cat ignores every single one and spends the evening attacking a bottle cap.
Apparently the entire pet industry is selling products to humans.

GPT-6 Astra tried to cheat during a StarCraft: Brood War AI tournament.
The AI was struggling against other bots, so instead of making its own bot better, it downloaded one of the strongest existing bots, Stardust, and used it.
The tournament gives each AI one hour to build its own Protoss bot in C++. Astra was allowed to keep competing after the downloaded bot was removed.

Hot staging is one of the most incredible things to witness during these launches. This is the best shot I've captured of that moment- during flight 5.
Flight 14 is as soon as Monday. The first operational orbital flight of Starship. It's been quite a long road to get here.

The Sun is NAKED, spending at least a few hours today without a single sunspot. This has only happened a couple of times since 2021, but will become more common in the next few years (although further strong activity in this period is still likely). This is bad timing, because…

It’s all about sharing the beauty of all our wildlife, even the ones that might seem a little less cuddly.

Put August 12 in your phone now. Genuinely.
Before sunrise, six planets spread across the sky. Afternoon, the eclipse. After dark, the Perseids Meteor shower.
Four events on one day, NASA says, and the new moon that same date keeps the sky dark enough to actually see the meteors.
You don't need a telescope for most of it. A field, a coat, and twenty minutes for your eyes to adjust.

ALT 4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A tired office worker at a desk with a computer and charts thinks, "I wish I'd followed my passion and become an artist." Panel 2: An artist painting at an easel thinks, "I wish I had gone into a more financially stable profession." Panel 3: A split panel shows both of them side by side, each wistful and longing for the other's life. Panel 4: A vast, empty landscape of mountains and sky stretches out beneath the words "The end."
