NASA’s Mars Rover Comes Across Formation That Looks Like the Scales of a Massive Cosmic Reptile

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Far away on the surface of Mars, NASA’s Curiosity Rover took a side quest this weekend and captured images of a mysterious roadside attraction: a rocky surface that resembles the scales of a cosmically large reptile that has scientists stumped on its origin. Kevin M. Gill, engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, posted the images showing this distinctive polygonal rock surface from the vantage point of the trusty rover that’s been exploring the Red Planet since 2012; the rover was on its way to investigate a small crater when it happened upon the intriguing landscape feature. “We’ve seen polygon-patterned rocks like these before, but they didn’t seem quite this dramatically abundant, stretching across the ground for meters and meters in our Mastcam mosaics,” read a statement from the space agency. “This week we continued to collect lots of images and chemical data that will help us distinguish between different hypotheses for how the honeycomb textures formed.” One intriguing …

Published by skeptic

Rivalry Corp. is pulling back sharply on its day-to-day business as its board considers what comes next for the company. The Toronto-based online betting and gaming operator said Friday (February 13) that directors have signed off on a major scale-down of operations. The move comes after months of uneven performance that have put pressure on the business and forced leadership to rethink its direction. Effective immediately, Rivalry has begun cutting costs across the organization, which includes a significant reduction in staff and other operating expenses. The company has also halted all player activity on its betting platform. Customers are still able to withdraw funds in the normal course, but no new bets can be placed and the platform is otherwise inactive until further notice. Rivalry Corp strategic review unfolds as it unveils cuts Behind the scenes, the board has been talking with outside parties about potential transactions.

Asian Film Awards Scales Back 2026 Ceremony in Wake of Hong Kong Fire

Asian Film Awards Scales Back 2026 Ceremony in Wake of Hong Kong Fire

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Asian Film Awards will significantly scale back their 2026 edition, suspending competitive categories and eliminating the traditional red carpet, organizers said Friday — a move intended to reflect the somber public mood in the host city of Hong Kong following last year’s devastating residential fire. The Asian Film Awards Academy said the 19th edition of the pan-regional honors, set for March this year in Hong Kong, will pivot to a stripped-down program centered on a small slate of special awards presented “in a dignified and minimalist manner,” rather than the usual contest of best film, director, acting prizes and crafts categories. The decision, the group explained, was made after taking into account how the disaster has continued to weigh on the city and the regional film community. In addition, organizers referenced the Hong Kong government’s own decision to postpone official celebrations and to recommend a low-profile tone for public events in the near term. “This is a well-considered decision,” said Asian Film Awards Academy chairman Wilfred Wong. “In the current environment, adopting a solemn …

Other Smart Scales Renpho MorphoScan Photograph: Chris Null Renpho MorphoScan for $150: The Renpho MorphoScan full-body scanner looks surprisingly similar to the Runstar FG2015, including a near-identical display attached to the handlebars. Well, spoiler alert, they are basically the same scale. They even use the same app to collect data (and you can even use both scales simultaneously with it). The only reason this scale isn’t our top pick for the category is that it’s $15 more expensive. You can rest assured that a price war is looming. Arboleaf Body Fat Scale CS20W Photograph: Chris Null Arboleaf Body Fat Scale CS20W for $40: This affordable Bluetooth scale isn’t the most eye-catching I’ve tested, owing to its big, silver electrodes and an oversized display that comes across as a bit garish. While weight is easy to make out, the six additional statistics showcased are difficult to read, all displayed simultaneously. I like the Arboleaf app better than the scale, where five more metrics can be found in addition to the seven above, each featuring a helpful …
