Acura teased its first electric vehicle Thursday, and the grille alone is worth taking note of. The Acura Precision concept, which will make its public debut on August 18th during Monterey Car Week, has one of the most outlandishly bright LED grilles that I’ve ever seen on an EV (and I’ve seen a few). The front end appears to carry over a lot of the design language from the Integra and MDX, including the five-point diamond shape and the angular headlights. But the embedded LED lights are far and away the most…

‘We love science!” exclaims Jane Weaver during her Friday set, as the crowd whoops as heartily as they do to any music all weekend. It captures the tone of Bluedot: a unique festival in which science and music go hand-in-hand, and where homemade spacesuits are as plentiful as band T-shirts.Weaver’s cosmic disco pop pulses gently through the early evening air before Nuha Ruby Ra offers up a set of intense industrial pop, screaming into two microphones she has tightly clasped in each hand. The evening belongs to Kelly Lee…

Excerpt from Donald Trump’s attempt to film a video after the January 6th insurrection against the U.S. government, obtained by the committee investigating the crime.Gif: YouTubeDid you see that statement from former president Donald Trump going viral on Thursday about President Joe Biden’s covid-19 diagnosis? It included racist phrases like “the China virus,” multiple references to Hercules, and was shared by countless Republican thought leaders—the best and brightest MAGA minds on the internet. But it’s completely fake,…

Astronomers have discovered two large, mysterious objects blasting out of the brightest black hole in the known Universe.Discovered in a 1959 survey of cosmic radio-wave sources, the supermassive black hole 3C 273 is a quasar – short for "quasi-stellar object", because the light emitted by these behemoths is bright enough to be mistaken for starlight.  While black holes themselves do not emit light, the largest ones are surrounded by gargantuan swirls of gas called accretion disks; as gas falls into the black hole at…

Crowds in Fremantle, Australia, look at the supermoon on Monday, November 14. NASA scientists say the moon is brighter than it has appeared at any point in the last 68 years. Paul Kane/Getty ImagesThe moon rises over Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong on November 14. A supermoon occurs when the moon becomes full on the same days as its perigee, which is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth. Supermoons generally appear to be 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full moons. Kin Cheung/APThe moon appears…

Astronomers have discovered what may be the brightest pulsar in the sky. Despite its intense light the pulsar has long evaded detection, and was only revealed thanks to a telescope equipped with some cosmic “sunglasses.”Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emit beams of radiation from their poles, creating pulses of light when these beams wash over Earth. These bright pulses flash quickly, with usually just seconds or milliseconds between them, making them relatively easy to spot in the cosmos.The newly discovered…
