For how much astronomers know about black holes — it’s a lot, trust me — it’s a bit of a shock that mankind has never actually seen one. Everything science knows about black holes is based on inference rather than actually witnessing one with our own eyes (electronic or otherwise), but that may be about to change.

The Event Horizon Telescope project plans to reveal the first-ever images of a black hole, and the international group of researchers working on the project have something very big to show the world this week. We may be just days away from seeing a black hole for the first time ever.

When Huawei unveiled the foldable Mate X phone at MWC 2019 earlier this year, it became clear the Chinese company had a much better design on its hands than Samsung, which announced the Galaxy Fold just a few days earlier. The Mate X’s stunning looks stole the show in Barcelona this year, making us forget about all the other flagships that launched at the same mobile event.

From the get-go, we knew the phone would be pricey, as Huawei revealed the Mate X’s price to be €2,299 ($2,585). What Huawei didn’t offer during the event was an actual launch date. A new report now claims the phone will be available in stores this June.

Reddit user ClockworkWXVII shared a harrowing experience over the weekend, writing in a post about being at home laying in bed, watching TV and eating, thinking everything was totally fine. All of a sudden, the user’s Apple Watch noted that his “heart rate was stupid fast,” which prompted a call for help. Emergency responders arrived and “found me in serious trouble,” resulting in a rush to the hospital and a trip to the trauma section.

“I felt totally fine before everything happened, and then notifications, and then BAM, everything goes nuts,” the Reddit user recounted, explaining that the watch spotted symptoms of tachycardia, a dangerous condition characterized by a rapid heartbeat. An appointment with a cardiologist was scheduled the day after the hospital visit.

One of the defining features of 2016’s iPhone 6s was 3D Touch, which allowed users to press harder on the display in order to change the way they interacted with an app or a menu option. Apple first debuted the Force Touch technology that powers 3D Touch in 2014, and five years later, with Apple reportedly thinking about moving on, Google might be considering adding a similar feature to the next major update for its mobile operating system.

Last week, developer Till Kottmann happened upon a line of code in the Android Q beta referencing an unannounced feature called “deep press.” Google’s description of Deep Press reads: “The current event stream represents the user intentionally pressing harder on the screen.”

Remember about a month ago, when we told you that it might be a good idea to postpone the purchase of the Galaxy S10, as better deals may be waiting down the road? Well, if you still haven’t pulled the trigger, you should know that Samsung is already discounting several models by at least $100, though savings can go up to $150.

The deal is available directly from Samsung, and requires you to get the phone with a carrier payment plan from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, or Verizon. The deal doesn’t necessitate any device trade-ins, and the savings apply to various storage tiers, so you can pick which model suits you best.

The price tag that tops $20,000 isn’t the only dramatic feature of the gorgeous Beovision Harmony, the OLED TV that Bang & Olufsen is showcasing as part of Milan Design Week 2019.

It also sports a pair of speakers that spread open, like butterfly wings. Turning on the TV, which is comprised of a thin screen that sits close to the floor, means the two finely crafted oak and aluminum fronts housing the powerful sound center will then fan out. At which point, the TV screen rises to the optimum viewing height. Turn the screen off, and the sequence reverses itself.

When a solar eclipse is expected here on Earth, it can be a pretty big deal. Back in August of 2017, a total solar eclipse occurred over much of the United States, and people traveled from huge distances just to catch a glimpse of the awe-inspiring sight.

For NASA, sending robots to other planets is a great way to learn more about Earth’s neighbors, but it’s also an opportunity to observe events like eclipses in places where humans have never ventured. In a new blog post, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory reveals that the Curiosity rover on Mars recently had the opportunity to see not one, but two solar eclipses.

The Avengers: Endgame stars, directors, and Marvel chief Kevin Feige all took the stage over the weekend to discuss the upcoming Marvel movie, which will conclude Marvel’s third MCU phase, with Jon Favreau hosting the press conference. Everyone still alive after the events in Infinity War was part of the panel, with the producers cleverly leaving several empty seats for the heroes that died in the previous Avengers film.

You’ll easily recognize Karen Gillan, Paul Rudd, Scarlett Johansson, Kevin Feige, Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Chris Hemsworth, Danai Gurira, Jeremy Renner, Anthony Russo, Chris Evans, Joe Russo, Brie Larson, and Mark Ruffalo answering to questions from Favreau and fans during the event. But we’re going to focus on Evans, who nearly spoiled Captain America’s fate during the press conference, being silenced at least twice by his coworkers.
