New Zealand may seem to be under meteor bombardment at the moment. After a huge meteor exploded above the sea near Wellington on July 7, creating a sonic boom that could be heard across the bottom of the South Island, a smaller fireball was captured two weeks later above Canterbury.  Fireballs Aotearoa, a collaboration between astronomers and citizen scientists which aims to recover freshly fallen meteorites, has received a lot of questions about these events.

Still kind of shines, just not that bright Bright Memory: Infinite has been a game I’ve admired from afar since word of it first dropped a couple of years ago. The idea that a single person was developing an action shooter that looked like it could belong to a AAA developer was intriguing, if only for what it said about the future of indie development. Each new trailer contained a myriad of potential, and the purchasable prelude did enough to paint a portrait of possibilities for the final product. Unfortunately, most of…

A comet is expected to fly past Earth next week during its journey through our Solar System towards the Sun.

Stargazers can spot it between the Big Dipper's handle and Arcturus, one of the brightest stars seen from Earth.NASA says the comet, also known as C/2021 A1,…

Apple was one of the first companies to capitalise on people's desire to make a statement with their workspaces and homes. Way back in 1998 when the very first partially translucent Bondi Blue iMac came out, it got everyone talking and also revitalised Apple at a time when it was struggling. Shortly afterward when five new candy-coloured options were…

A nova is a galactic equivalent of a flashbang – an immensely powerful explosion of light and energy that is only visible for mere days before fading away. But a recently discovered nova has broken all previous records by fading away from view within just 24 hours. Discovered by amateur astronomer Seidji Ueda on June 21, 2021, the V1674 Herculis nova was seen on the border of the constellation Hercules the Hero that it shares with Sagitta and Aquila. "The white dwarf that exploded is massive and growing in mass toward a…

Last updated: June 24th, 2022 at 12:03 UTC+02:00 At the recently concluded Google I/O 2022 event, Google, along with various other products, also talked about the Pixel 7 series, way earlier than expected. While the specifications of the device are yet to be known, some information about the display is already out in the open. Notably, it was earlier reported that the Pixel 7 Pro would come with the old Samsung S6E3HC3 OLED display, which was used by Google on its Pixel 6 Pro. Then came the information that it is not…

Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency, remains a bellwether for the sector. It hit an all-time high of more than US$68,000 (£55,600) in November 2021, when the overall value of the cryptocurrency market was close to US$3 trillion. In the months since, however, most major cryptocurrencies have fallen by more 70% and bitcoin itself has dropped below US$18,000. Is this just another crash in the volatile cryptocurrency market, or is this the beginning of the end for this alternative asset class?…
