Tech NASA’s Webb Snaps Supersonic Outflow of Young Star
Chris posted a topic in World News & Discussion
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s high resolution, near-infrared look at Herbig-Haro 211 reveals exquisite detail of the outflow of a young star, an infantile analogue of our Sun. Herbig-Haro objects are formed when stellar winds or jets of gas spewing from newborn stars form shock waves colliding with nearby gas and dust at high speeds. The image showcases a series of bow shocks to the southeast (lower-left) and northwest (upper-right) as well as the narrow bipolar jet that powers them in unprecedented detail. Molecules excited by the turbulent conditions, including molecular hydrogen, carb -

X.com now redirects to Twitter.com, following a tweet from Twitter owner Elon Musk today, and an “interim X logo” will soon replace the Twitter bird logo. Leading up to the change, Musk spent a lot of time tweeting about it. Around 12AM ET last night, he started tweeting — and did so for hours — about the Twitter rebrand to X, the one-letter name he’s used repeatedly in company and product names forever. It started with a tweet saying “soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” followed by a second tweet adding that “if a good enough X logo is posted toni

Animations of the relative heights of the cloud tops of Jupiter reveal delicately textured swirls and peaks that resemble the frosting on top of a cupcake. The results have been presented today by citizen scientist and professional mathematician and software developer, Gerald Eichstädt, at the Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) 2022 in Granada. The animation uses data from JunoCam, the visible-light camera onboard NASA's Juno spacecraft, which has been orbiting Jupiter since 2016. Put on board initially to increase public engagement around the exploration of Jupiter and its moons, a world

Tech Apple Music now has its own Android widget
Derek Hale posted a topic in World News & Discussion
Apple Music now has its own Android widget Home screen widgets still don't exist on iOS, but that's not stopping Apple from taking advantage of Android's unique strengths. Today the company updated its Apple Music app with a new widget that can be dropped onto your phone or tablet's home screen. It's pretty basic (most music app widgets are, to be fair), offering controls for pause, skip, and going back to the last track. There's also a heart, so you can help influence Apple Music's future picks based on your tastes. Apple's is the top widget in the above image, with Spotify's Android widg -

Sony is reportedly working to bring advertisements to free-to-play PlayStation games, according to a report by Insider. The ads would appear in games and are meant to give game developers a way to monetize their work and encourage them to continue building free-to-play games. The in-game ads are expected to launch by the end of the year and would appear in inconspicuous places within the game, like billboards. Players could also get rewards for watching advertisements, and the ads would be sold through a private marketplace, Insider reports. Sources told Insider that Sony hasn’t yet decid

All signs point to Elon Musk getting into the music business.

We have a new tally. Spotify said in a 6/15 blog post that the two-tiered service now has north of 140m users—or “global monthly active users,” as Spotify’s Brian Benedik put it. The hyperbolic post was adorned with the celebratory image above. What hasn’t yet been updated is the stat the rights holders care about the most: the current number of paid subscribers. The last number confirmed by Spotify was 50m in March. But the post did contain some positive news about the ad-supported free tier, which was launched on mobile three years ago: Advertising sales revenues from 2015 to 2016
