Back in January skywatchers were treated to a gorgeous lunar eclipse that was visible across multiple continents. It made headlines as the “Super Blood Wolf Moon,” which is just a bunch of silly nicknames packed together, but the event was truly special for one specific reason: a meteoroid struck the Moon just as everyone was gazing at its coppery glow.

It wasn’t long after the eclipse that scientific observers realized what they had captured on camera. A tiny but very noticeable flash could easily be seen, and researchers quickly connected the dots and determined it was likely an impact of some kind. Now, a proper study has been published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society examining the event and concluding that it was indeed the result of a meteoroid strike.

Apple in late March unveiled its brand new Apple TV platform, which includes support for several stand-alone streaming apps, as well as its own Netflix-rival, Apple TV+. Weeks later, Disney came out with its own streaming service, Disney+, which will launch later this year. Unlike Apple, Disney actually revealed the price of its upcoming streaming package, a price that makes Disney+ extremely appealing. Add to that Amazon, HBO, Hulu, and YouTube, and it’s pretty clear the streaming wars are well underway. Apple, however, doesn’t see it that way, saying that it can coexist with the likes of Netflix, which is easily the most popular streaming platform in the world right now.

Avengers: Endgame needed only a few days in theaters to shatter all expectations, as well as many box office records. With a global haul of $1.2 billion after its first five days in theaters, Endgame is Marvel’s biggest movie to date, and it’ll likely make even more money by the time its theatrical run ends. The fact that many fans will want to see it a second time will help, and that’s understandable considering all the details that Marvel packed in the movie.

There are so many Easter eggs and callbacks to previous Marvel films that it’s very likely you’ll miss some of them, including a few crucial ones. One of them concerns Captain America, and it might provide a clue about the future of the MCU. But before we get into it, I’ll warn you that several spoilers will follow.

NASA is staffed with some of the brightest minds in engineering, astronomy, and mathematics. You wouldn’t expect anyone to even attempt to pull the wool over the agency’s eyes — much less get away with it — but that’s exactly what one company managed to do for nearly two decades.

A new report from the U.S. Justice Department reveals that a company by the name of Sapa Profiles (now Hydro Extrusion Portland) falsified tests to make their products appear to be, well, not total garbage. But they were total garbage, and the faulty metal is now being blamed for a pair of high-profile failures that cost NASA hundreds of millions of dollars.
