Our solar system is a dynamic, evolving realm of space. A powerful camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter — a satellite orbiting the red planet — spotted a relatively recent impact site on the Martian surface. The spacecraft detected a dark spot on the ground, and then the high-resolution camera (called the High-Resolution Imaging Experiment) snapped the detailed shot. The impact, which



iPhone 14 Apple 16•
The iPhone 14 Pro is expected to make a big break with Apple tradition, and we're not just talking about its disappearing notch : the flagship's main camera has also been tipped to finally make the leap from a 12MP to 48MP resolution. Is that a big deal? After all, the Nokia 808 PureView arrived back in 2012 with a 41MP sensor – not to mention the countless Android phones from Huawei, Xiaomi and

Xiaomi India April 12•
Flagship phones have generally been getting bigger and bolder over the years, but the Xiaomi 12 and Samsung Galaxy S22 epitomize a new emerging trend. These handsets continue to pack flagship-level features and components, but they do so in surprisingly compact form factors, and with slightly lower price tags to boot. The only question that really matters here is, which pint-sized flagship phone

TL;DR: A lifetime subscription to VPNSecure is on sale for £30.43, saving you 96% on list price. Not all VPNs are created equal. And the truth is, even some of the best VPNs on the web have suffered breaches involving insecure servers. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get one — that just means you might not want to spend your life savings on a subscription. Fortunately, with this deal on VPNSecure

Since landing on Mars more than a year ago, NASA’s Perseverance Rover has used its microphones to capture the sounds of the Red Planet, including its harsh winds and the hum of Ingenuity cutting through the atmosphere . And now those recordings have helped scientists discover that sound travels differently on Mars than it does on Earth. In a study published on Friday in the journal Nature , resea



Like most of us, airports and airlines did not have much to yuck about on April Fools’ Day the past two years. But they did an excellent job this year, with winners and zingers that had plenty of folks fooled and some travelers wishing the fanciful features were real.

Chase has extended benefits with Lyft and DoorDash, though, which have been set to expire. I wouldn't be surprised if the terms had become more favorable to the ridesharing and food delivery companies, because it would be tough for Chase to lose these. American Express has Uber (and therefore also Uber Eats) so Chase needs Uber's competitors. Plus these benefits were a key part of the narrative w
