The Moon’s largest crater is hiding something, and astronomers don’t know what

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Compared to other bodies in our Solar System, Earth’s moon isn’t particularly huge. However, its relatively small size belies one of its most interesting features, which is a colossal crater measuring over 1,500 miles across. Now, researchers believe the crater, which forms a huge basin on the far side of the Moon near its south pole, is hiding something.

In a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters, researchers reveal the discovery of a huge mass hiding beneath the crater. An incredibly dense area under the lunar surface was detected with gravitational sensors, pointing to the presence of something massive lurking below.

With a 4096 x 2304 screen resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, you’ll be able to playback 4K content natively.

7th-Gen Kaby Lake Quad-Core Intel Core Performance
The iMac houses a 7th-Gen Kaby Lake Intel Core i5 Quad-Core processor that can reach a stock speed of 3.0 GHz. It can also be overclocked up to 3.5 GHz, thanks to Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. The 7th-gen Kaby Lake Intel processor uses low voltage for better energy efficiency while still providing fast performance needed to run processor-intensive applications such as Logic Pro or Final Cut Pro. Combined with 8GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 onboard RAM, the iMac allows you to multitask quickly and efficiently.

Samsung is working on a rollable phone display, because the foldable one worked so well

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung still has the consumer tech world waiting to see if the company will actually make good on its ambitious plan to launch a foldable smartphone, something it had planned to do on April 26 and scuttled at the last minute because of a slew of problems that showed up in review units. As of the time of this writing, the company has yet to announce when it will try again for a new attempt at launching the phone, with the last word from Samsung being that an announcement about timing would be forthcoming in a matter of weeks.

Sorry, Samsung fans: Leak confirms Galaxy Note 10 won’t have a headphone jack

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Last week, a leaker released Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Pro renders based on stolen CAD designs and they offered us our first look at the upcoming Samsung flagships. The renders seemingly confirmed what previous Note 10 rumors said about the phone’s design, but they also revealed a couple of extra tidbits. In addition to changing the location of the hole-punch camera and rear-facing cameras on the new Note, Samsung made two other major design changes concerning the Bixby standalone button and the 3.5mm headphone jack. Long story short, both of them are gone.

There’s no reason not to trust the leak, considering that its source has provided accurate design leaks in the past for many unreleased phones, which means the Note 10 will be Samsung’s first flagship to lack a headphone jack. If you were still skeptical though, we now have a brand new leak that says the same thing.
