NASA astronaut Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen take off on a T-38 training flight from Ellington Field on Feb. 11, 2026, as a waning crescent Moon hovers above.

A new app called Current is rethinking the RSS reader, aiming to offer a reading experience that feels more like dipping into a stream of news, and less like a task to be completed. In doing so, the app could make using RSS feeds to consume news and information a more approachable experience for those who aren’t consuming news for work or consider themselves information junkies. Current’s developer, Terry Godier, said he noticed that he always felt guilty when returning to his feed reader after a few days away. He attributed his feelings to how most readers were built to…

WhatsApp might soon let all users send messages automatically in chats, as it’s working on a message-scheduling feature expected to work in both individual and group chats. This revelation comes from the folks at WABetaInfo, who discovered this under-development feature in the beta version 26.7.10.72 of WhatsApp for iOS. This feature, which might be called Scheduled Messages, would allow users to automatically send messages by scheduling them in advance. Just type a message, then choose the date and time you want it delivered automatically. The scheduled messages will be displayed in a “Scheduled Messages” section on the chat info screen,…

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityI love a fresh watch face, and would even say it’s one of my favorite aspects of wearing a smartwatch. It’s the fastest way to make a device feel new again, and on the Google Pixel Watch 4, the right watch face can completely change the vibe from workout-ready to weekend casual. While there’s no shortage of paid options in the Play Store, I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to spend extra to get something great. After cycling through more designs than I care to admit, I narrowed things down to five free Pixel…

Maybe you think about reef restoration techniques like coral transplantation, or making small consumption changes like switching from plastic straws. If you have money to dream big, perhaps you might ponder creating a big robot that roams the waters, sucking up floating trash. Environmental researchers at Texas A&M University are on a whole ‘nother level: they’re proposing massive fire tornadoes. A recent blurb on the university’s website detailed a recent paper in the journal Fuel that aimed to find the…

Google has officially unveiled the Pixel 10a, its newest entry in the A-series lineup. On the surface, it looks like another compelling budget-friendly Pixel: minimalist design, fresh colours, a large battery, and Google’s well-known AI features. But dig a little deeper, and the excitement quickly fades. For many buyers, the Pixel 10a may feel like a déjà vu moment – a phone that looks new but behaves very much like last year’s Pixel 9a. In fact, the similarities run so deep that a growing number of users and reviewers are asking the same question: Why upgrade at all? Despite its…

After spending years using Quick Look on my MacBook, I had grown completely accustomed to the convenience of pressing the spacebar to instantly preview files. It became second nature. Whether it was checking images, skimming documents, or confirming the contents of a folder, that single shortcut saved time and removed unnecessary steps. Switching to Windows made me realize just how much I relied on that feature, because its absence stuck with me. I found myself missing that effortless workflow and decided to search for an alternative that could replicate the same experience on my Windows laptop. Fortunately, the hunt paid…
