While most of us were feasting on holiday foods over the past few weeks, the New England Aquarium was busy counting North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) mom-calf pairs off the coast of Florida, South Carolina, and Georgia. “Congrats to all of these North Atlantic right whale moms!” reads a social media post by the aquarium highlighting six recent sightings, including Juno—an over 40-year-old mother with her ninth documented calf spotted on December 27. Juno (Catalog #1612) and her 2026 calf, sighted on December 27, 2025,…
Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat Kinds of Coffee Subscriptions Are There?AccordionItemContainerButtonThere are two main kinds of coffee subscription providers: roasters and retailers. Both roasters and multi-roaster retailers sell great coffee. This guide contains a mix of both.Roasters are cafés and small-batch producers who buy raw beans from farmers all over the world and roast them to perfection. By buying from a roaster, you’re directly supporting the people who make your favorite coffees. The downside is you usually won’t have as broad a selection. Roasters usually sell only their own coffee, but that often means special blends and single origins are available from…
Back in 2024, NASA announced that the Artemis 2 mission was going to be pushed back to April 2026. Now, the agency says it could launch as early as February, with the first flight opportunity being on February 6. NASA is currently making the final preparations for the mission and will soon roll out the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft to their launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft system’s four-mile journey from the assembly building to Launch Pad 39B will take up to 12 hours. NASA is targeting a date no…

Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. I can’t stop thinking about the website AI World Clocks. The premise is simple: all the major AI models on the market are asked to code a clock, and you get to see the results. The catch: They’re all beautiful disasters. The numbers seem to be consistently in the wrong place, and sometimes are outside the clock itself. The hands may or may not be in the correct position, and sometimes are floating off in space outside of the clock. Even the clocks that are pretty…
After a federal agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday, WIRED surfaced December federal court testimony from the reported ICE shooter, Jonathan Ross. In it, he said he was a firearms trainer and that he has had “hundreds” of encounters with drivers in a professional capacity during enforcement actions. Separately, we looked at how the tactics behind protest policing are moving toward intentional antagonism. If you haven’t seen it, here’s our guide to protesting safely in the age of surveillance.Meanwhile, the artificial-intelligence-powered chatbot Grok, developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, was everywhere this week because the platform…
Chances are that you’re here because you’ve heard a virtual private network (VPN) can change your virtual location, and want to know what that means. If you know already, head over to my best VPN list to learn which services I recommend for changing your location. But if you’re clueless, read on.Whenever any device connects to the internet — whether it’s a laptop, a phone or a smart Lego brick — it’s assigned a unique IP address that other devices can use to identify it. Think of the name you give the barista at a coffee shop, except instead of…
Pokemon fans can catch a great deal on Detective Pikachu’s Limited Edition Steelbook at Amazon. Normally $33, the collectible 4K Blu-ray edition is on sale for only $20.49. The discount probably won’t stick around for too long, and it’s worth noting this edition has sold out multiple times since its release last April. The 2025 Steelbook Edition is also in stock at Gruv ($28) and Walmart ($31), but Amazon is the only retailer offering the substantial discount.Detective Pikachu originally released on Blu-ray back in 2019. At the time, Best Buy had an exclusive edition with a steelbook case. Outside of…
Also notable in the X-E5 is the addition of in-body image stabilization (IBIS), which used to be something reserved for the X-Pro series cameras (again, IBIS in the X-E 5 sounds like yet another death knell for the X-Pro 4). Fujifilm is claiming seven stops of IBIS, which feels about right based on my testing. I was able to shoot a lot of handheld shots of my kids on Christmas morning and never missed a thing due to camera shake.Photograph: Scott GilbertsonThe overall construction and build quality of the X-E5 is also a huge leap forward. Unlike the X-E4, which…
A new category of space objects dubbed “platypus galaxies” is defying explanation.These nine strange cosmic objects, spotted in archival data from the James Webb Space Telescope, cannot easily be characterized by their features. They are small and compact, but they don’t appear to host active supermassive black holes or to be quasars, enormous black holes that glow as brightly as galaxies, according to new research.Researchers have dubbed the cosmic oddballs “platypus galaxies” because, like platypuses — rare egg-laying mammals — they are difficult to classify, Haojing Yan, an astronomer at the University of Missouri who led the team, said when…
