Black holes are scary. They’re like bottomless pits that nothing can escape from, even light, and you probably wouldn’t want to get too close to one. Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is thought to feature a supermassive black hole at its center. at a point known as Sagittarius A*, and thanks to the wonders of virtual reality you can now visit it from the comfort of your couch.

Researchers from Radboud University in The Netherlands teamed up with scientists at Germany’s Goethe University to produce an incredible VR simulation using data models, turning past observations and readings of the black hole into a visualization that puts you right next to it. The work was published in Computational Astrophsyics and Cosmology.

Save for PlayStation VR, virtual reality is still prohibitively expensive for some consumers. While prices have dropped significantly in recent years, the latest and greatest VR headsets still retail for $400 or more. Surprisingly, we have not seen many VR deals for Black Friday 2018 so far, but HTC on Monday announced that it is giving buyers a chance to get the Vive Pro at a discount, along with cheaper subscriptions to the Viveport app store.

The most substantial deal from HTC comes in the form of a $200 price cut on the Vive Pro Full Kit, which includes a Vive Pro headset, two Steam VR Base Stations 2.0, two next-generation controllers, and a two-month subscription to Viveport. That price cut brings the total cost of the Vive Pro Full Kit down to $1,199.

If you’ve been paying attention to any kind of space news over the past few years, you already know that the race to Mars is heating up in a big way. Elon Musk and SpaceX regularly talk about the possibilities of not only traveling to the Red Planet, but actually making it livable for humans, and NASA is slowly piecing together plans for the very first manned missions to our planetary neighbor.

It’s an exciting time… as long as you’re not Bill Nye, apparently. In a recent interview with USA Today, the longtime show host and bow tie aficionado shot down dreams of humans on Mars in intense fashion.

It should come as a surprise to absolutely no one that some Instagram users get massive followings on the Facebook-owned service through the use of trickery that includes everything from following and then unfollowing others — after they got a follow back — and through the use of third-party apps that promote inauthentic likes, follows and comments.

You may see Instagram follow accounts start to drop in the coming days, and this is why. According to a company blog post, Instagram is trying to do something about the use of third-party apps that ‘grammers use to help artificially grow their audience.

Ever since NBC’s The Office went off the air in 2013, fans of the show have been clamoring for a reunion, a reboot, or a new season of the beloved sitcom. Some of the actors have suggested that they would be game for a new story set in the Office universe in recent years, including John Krasinski (Jim Halpert) in an interview or two, but there haven’t been any signs of this dream actually becoming a reality from NBC or creator Greg Daniels.

That is, until this past weekend, when Steve Carell hosted Saturday Night Live. In the middle of his monologue, Carell was interrupted by a fan in the audience who asked him about doing an Office reboot. He politely explained that while he loved the experience and the people he worked with, he didn’t think it was a great idea.

In this day and age, the Wi-Fi router is perhaps the most important piece of technology in your entire home. Without it, none of your smart gadgets and gizmos would be able to connect to the internet. It’s surprising that so many people neglect to do their research when buying a new Wi-Fi router, instead opting to just go to their local consumer electronics store to pick up the cheapest model they can find. If you’ve made that mistake in the past, it’s time to correct it and we’re here to help set you on the proper path.

Best affordable router: TP-Link TL-WR841N

Getting a good Wi-Fi router doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. Believe it or not, you can get a pretty great router these days for less than $20! The TP-Link TL-WR841N Wi-Fi Router offers surprisingly reliable performance and great range for something that’s so shockingly inexpensive. Two 5dBi antennas offer more than enough range to cover an apartment or a small to medium-sized house, and 300Mbps data speeds are more than enough for most users. Unless you’re a hardcore gamer or you have a large family and want everyone to be able to stream high-resolution video at the same time, this affordable model is a great option.

TP-Link N300 Wireless Wi-Fi Router – 2 x 5dBi High Power Ant…: Price too low to display

Best basic mesh system: Google Wifi

People with large homes or anyone who wants a Wi-Fi system that delivers the fastest possible speeds and the best possible range will definitely want to upgrade from a regular router to a mesh Wi-Fi system. What you might not realize though, is that you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get a good mesh wireless system. In fact, the Google Wifi System has been one of the most popular mesh systems in the world for years and it costs less than some single access point routers. Google Wifi supports gigabit speeds and its three access points are enough to cover about 4,500 sq. ft. of space, ensuring that you won’t have to worry about any dead spots in or around your house.

Google WiFi system, 3-Pack – Router replacement for whole home coverage (NLS-1304-25): $249.99

Best premium mesh system: Netgear Orbi

Google Wifi is great for basic use in most homes, but some people need a little more oomph out of their Wi-Fi system. For those people, we suggest the Netgear Orbi Ultra-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System. Netgear’s Orbi system is lightning fast and infinitely expandable, so you can cover a small 1,200 sq. ft. home or a large 10,000 sq. ft. mansion with ease. The system also supports blazing fast data speeds of up to 3Gbps, so it’s beyond future-proof.

NETGEAR Orbi Ultra-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System – fastest WiFi router and single sat…: $279.00

More options:

• TP-Link AC1200 Smart WiFi Router. This TP-Link model is by far the best affordable option out there for people looking for gigabit speeds and good coverage for an apartment or small to medium-sized house.
• Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 WiFi Router. If you’re a hardcore gamer who needs speed, versatility, customization, and prioritization for your video game console, it doesn’t get any better than this.
• Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router. This is another great option for gamers. It’s similar to the Nighthawk Pro, but dialed back a bit so it’s much less expensive.
• Motorola VDSL2/ADSL2+ Modem + Gigabit Router. If you want a single device that will take care of all your Wi-Fi needs while also replacing your cable modem so you can shave up to $120 per year off your cable bill, this is as good as it gets.
• TP-Link TC-W7960 300Mbps WiFi Cable Modem. This is also a combo device that merges a cable modem and Wi-Fi router, but it doesn’t support gigabit speeds so it’s a bit less expensive than the aforementioned Motorola model.
