Nasa’s Artemis crew snaps historic Earthset photo on way home from moon
The Artemis II astronauts snapped a stunning shot of Earthset – the moment when the Earth dips below the moon’s horizon – on their long journey back home on Tuesday after wrapping up a historic lunar fly-by. Nasa released the photo of Earth dropping below the rugged lunar edge in a deliberate nod to the iconic Earthrise image taken by an Apollo 8 astronaut in 1968. That shot 57 years ago helped capture the public’s imagination when it was taken by US astronaut Bill Anders during the first space....

Vance says EU is meddling in Hungary’s election as he backs Orban in Budapest
U.S. Vice President JD Vance lashed out on Tuesday at what he called “disgraceful” European Union interference in Hungary’s election, even as he openly endorsed Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a close ally of both President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, days before the vote. Vance’s visit to Budapest came ahead of Sunday’s election, which independent public opinion polls show Orban is likely to lose. The trip – and the rare endorsement by a...

Catastrophe in the making
President Donald Trump's vocabulary and mindset are quite unbecoming of the high office he holds as the world's lone superpower. The impulsive leader's ultimatum to decimate the "whole [Persian] civilisation" and then retreat in a jiff while looking out for a thaw with Tehran is sending confusing signals. Such contradictions only reflect madness and insanity. Bourses in Manhattan plunged, and oil prices soared on the wayward assumptions from Trump's statements, as...
Risky experiment

The new child account category is a fully functional digital wallet with almost identical usability to a standard account, except that it does not allow chequebooks, which even adults rarely use in this day and age. Though well-intentioned, allowing children wh...

Why a former AirPods engineer is now building heat pumps
In 2022, California announced that it wanted to install 6 million heat pumps by 2030. So far, it’s only installed about 2.3 million, which means to make that goal, it would need to average about 2,000 installs per day for the next five years. Hitting that target could be difficult considering a typical mini split can take around a day to install and cost around $4,000 to $6,000 per zone, according to EnergySage. “We’ve got to do something different,” Mary-Ann Rau, co-founder and CEO of Mer...
