There is a reason the most recognizable planet orbiting two stars is the fictional desert world of Tatooine from Star Wars. So far, astronomers have only located 18 examples of circumbinary planets—a fraction of the over 6,000 exoplanets known to science. However, researchers at Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW) believe there’s a better way to spot potential dual-sun candidates. To prove it, they just offered up 27 possible circumbinary planets in time for May 4th, aka Star Wars Day. “Most of our…

I’ve been trying to become fluent in Spanish for the last decade. After spending most of my adult life surrounded by multilinguals, I often feel like I’m playing an impossible game of catch-up. Like everyone else, I’ve tried to become regimented with practicing on an in-phone app like Duolingo, which attempts to ‘game-ify’ language learning, but mostly ends up with a sad and sick-looking green bird icon guilting me to practice every time I open up my phone.Babbel aims to help people actually learn the language through practical conversation and grammar, using proven pedagogical methods and speech recognition technology. Each…

The processes behind-the-scenes are arcane and impenetrable at Valve, where the sloppiest rip-off products in the world seem to be able to release unhindered, while others find their games restricted for inexplicable reasons. The latter is happening to Japanese indie developer Daikichi, which says a demo for its forthcoming Wired Tokyo 2007 has been blocked from release because it violates the “intellectual property from third parties.” Except the third party in this case is Daikichi itself. As reported by VGC via GameSpark, a post to X from the developer lays out the situation, in which they explain that (via machine translation) “the…

The thin air and atmosphere make breathing and other bodily functions difficult—especially for humans. However, a cave over 7,000 feet above sea level in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain is forcing archaeologists to rethink how often our prehistoric ancestors made use of these heights.  A team found a cave in Spain full of hearths, jewelry, and human remains, indicating that people may have been living at this incredibly high altitude as long as 5,500 years ago.…

Upgrading your home office can feel like going down a rabbit hole. A simple search for a basic new desk can quickly turn into hours down the drain and endless tabs open on your computer, with every option starting to blur together. Uplift has a loyal following for its super customizable desks, smart (and creative—under-desk hammock, anyone?) accessories, and a solid build quality that makes long workdays more manageable.We’ve explored the perks of a standing desk, and the takeaway is pretty clear: even if it won’t magically fix everything, the right standing desk setup can make all the difference in…

At the end of last week, there were rumblings that GameStop would make a bid on eBay, a company roughly four times its size. Then on Sunday night, before markets opened this week, the gaming retailer made the offer official: $56 billion to acquire the online auction and reseller platform. GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen claims it’s a match made in heaven, while everyone else is left scratching their heads as the meme stock company tries to extend its death grip around the market for rare Pokémon cards and other collectibles. The offer to eBay’s board comes to $125 a share,…

A mysterious green rock discovered high in the Pyrenees suggests that prehistoric people maintained a high-altitude copper mining camp in Spain for more than four millennia, according to archaeologists. The cave was filled with layers of green mineral fragments and abundant pieces of charcoal, which suggests that people repeatedly returned to the seasonal camp for generations.Archaeologists discovered the cave at around 7,333 feet (2,235 meters) above sea level in the Spanish province of Girona, near the mountainous border with France. Inside, the researchers found human remains, animal bones, broken ceramic vessels and prehistoric fireplaces — all evidence that people used…

After an unanticipated five-week break in the season, Formula One resumed action this past weekend in Miami. Held at a temporary circuit around Hard Rock Stadium, the event is emblematic of the Liberty era of F1: a turbocharged marketing extravaganza crammed full of hospitality suites with ticket prices as high as $95,000. It might be miles from the sea—the original plans to race across a bridge over Biscayne Bay did not survive contact with locals—but the sport is doing its best to make this a modern Monaco, playing up the host city’s glamorous reputation and pastel color palette. As we…
