Game of Thrones season 8 has been a mixed bag for many viewers, if all the reactions I’m seeing every week on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit are anything to go by. That’s not to say that there haven’t been great moments, or that it’s easy to bring the biggest, most expensive show of the decade to a satisfying conclusion, but many of the choices that showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have made aren’t landing for some fans.

But it’s not just the fans that are struggling to make it through this season. Someone has sliced together a collection of clips from interviews and red carpet appearances in which various cast members of the show — from Kit Harington to Peter Dinklage — in which they seemingly express their disappointment with the direction that the show has taken in its final season. After last night’s episode, it’s honestly somewhat cathartic.

Earth isn’t the only place that “quakes.” Rocky planets and moons regularly experience similar movements, and faults can form between massive chunks of crust on other worlds the same as they can here on Earth. The Moon is one place we know that experiences those kinds of shifts, and new research suggests that it might actually be making the Moon smaller over time.

The study, which was published in Nature Geoscience, explains how the cliffs observed on the Moon’s surface hint at a cooling spell that occurred after the Moon formed. As it cooled, it “shriveled like a raisin,” and large cliffs formed on the surface when the Moon’s crust was compressed. These regions, known as thrust faults, may still be growing today, and the overall size of the Moon may be shrinking as a result.

Whether you’re a fan of Tesla or convinced that the company is destined to fail spectacularly, it’s impossible to deny that Tesla manufactures some of the safest cars the automotive world has ever seen. With that said, it’s a bit peculiar that we’ve seen a handful of stories involving Tesla vehicles spontaneously catching fire for no apparent reason over the past few months.

The latest incident comes to us via the Tesla Motors Club forum where a member relays that a 2016 Model S in caught fire out of the blue while parked in Hong Kong. Details surrounding the incident — which hasn’t been officially confirmed, we should note — still remain a bit hazy. And while we’d ordinarily gloss over such a seemingly incredulous story, the reality is that we’ve seen a handful of similar stories hit the news over the past few months.

Having a sick dog can be a serious bummer. It hurts to see a pet in pain or any kind of discomfort, but normally a sick dog doesn’t pose a risk to your own health. However, some diseases can jump between dogs and humans, and one such illness was just confirmed in Iowa.

As NBC News reports, canine brucellosis was detected in what is being described as a “commercial breeding facility” in the state. The facility reportedly breeds small breed dogs in Marion County, located in the southern half of the state.

Earth is a pretty big place, but it has a finite amount of resources. Mining companies that seek to exploit untouched parts of our planet are quickly running out of places to dig, and scientists belive it won’t be long before both private corporations and world governments begin setting their sights on extraterrestrial mining opportunities.

Everyone seems to think that mining asteroids and even other planets might soon become big business. Goldman Sachs, for instance, predicts that asteroid mining will produce the world’s first trillionaire, and that’s not as big of a stretch as you might think. Now, researchers are wondering how mankind will manage the space gold rush which seems all but inevitable.

Late last year, Google introduced a new camera feature called Night Sight that allows users to take surprisingly clear and detailed shots in otherwise poorly lit environments. What Night Sight is able to do is nothing short of magical and easily outclasses what even the iPhone XS brings to the table.

What makes Night Sight mode all the more impressive is that the feature is built on advanced software, which is to say that users don’t necessarily have to have the most recent Pixel phone in order to take advantage of it. With that said, it’s not at all surprising that Google’s recently unveiled Pixel 3a — which is a budget version of the regular Pixel 3 — includes Night Sight mode.
