NASA is gearing up for the first crewed journey to the Moon in over half a century, a mission that could launch as soon as two weeks from now.

Particularly when it comes to stepping out of the spacecraft — the agency has yet to pick between Blue Origin and SpaceX’s offerings in that regard — staying protected from the extreme temperature swings, space radiation, and lack of atmosphere…

If you’ve ever dug through your Windows installation drive looking for space hogs, you’ve probably stumbled upon the WinSxS folder. It’s one of those system folders that quietly balloons to 10GB or more without you noticing, and your first instinct might be to delete it. Don’t—Windows needs it to function, and removing files manually will break your system. The WinSxS folder stores system components, including older versions that Windows keeps for updates and rollbacks. The good news is that you can safely trim it down using built-in tools rather than manually hunting for the largest files and folders on your…

This image, acquired with the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite, provides a wide view of meager western snow cover on January 15. On that day, measurements derived from satellite observations showed that snow blanketed 142,700 square miles (369,700 square kilometers) of the west.…
