New planet habitability study is bad news for alien hunters
If you’re hoping to one day wake up to news that life has been found hiding out on some distant planet, researchers from the University of California Riverside have bad news for you. In a new research paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, the research team suggests that the area of presumed habitability around stars may be much more narrow than previously thought.
The study focuses not only on the surface temperature of any world that might be orbiting a given star, but also the levels of certain gases present depending on the intensity of the star and the location of the planet.

Most recently, Musk during a Tesla shareholder meeting was asked about the company’s plans to perhaps develop an aquatic car. Without skipping a beat, Musk replied: “Funny you should mention that… we do have a design for a submarine car like the one from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Large asteroid has a tiny chance of hitting Earth in September
Space groups like NASA and the ESA track a huge number of near-Earth objects on a daily basis, and many of them have a chance to make life miserable if they one day end up on a collision course with Earth. These “potentially hazardous” asteroids regularly pass Earth without issue, and the same will most likely be true on September 9th, 2019.
That’s when the rock known as 2006 QV89, an asteroid measuring just over 160 feet wide, is set to make its closest approach to Earth in some time. Astronomers tracking the object believe it’ll only get as close as four million miles, but the ESA says there’s a very tiny chance it could end up here on Earth.

Leak suggests the iPhone 11 will add a Pixel-like Night Sight feature
While Apple remains the most popular smartphone brand in the United States, the iPhone has been surpassed on multiple fronts by other smartphone makers. One such example is the NIght Sight feature of Google’s Pixel phones, but if a new report is true, Apple could catch up with Google before the end of the year.
According to XDA writer Max Weinbach, who leaked the following information to EverythingApplePro on YouTube, the 2019 iPhone models will have a “dedicated night mode” for taking photos in suboptimal environments. Weinbach also claims that this will be better than similar features from Google, Huawei, or Samsung.
