P.E.I. homeowner captures sound and video of meteorite strike on camera, and scientists believe it's a first
Joe Velaidum can't help but wonder what could have happened if he'd lingered outside his front door for just a couple of minutes longer before taking his dogs for a walk. The timing of their departure that day last July proved lucky. Just seconds later, a meteorite would plummet onto the front walkway of Velaidum's home in Marshfield, Prince Edward Island, shattering on impact with a reverberating smack. "The shocking thing for me is that I was standing right there a couple of minutes right befo

Jeff Bezos' space company tries again to launch massive new rocket after last-minute postponement
Blue Origin will try again to launch its massive new rocket as early as Thursday after calling off the debut launch because of ice buildup in critical plumbing. The 320-foot (98-meter) New Glenn rocket was supposed to blast off before dawn Monday with a prototype satellite. Founded by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin further delayed the launch because of Tuesday's poor weather forecast for Cape Canaveral and a moonshot planned Wednesday by SpaceX.

Researchers open source Sky-T1, a 'reasoning' AI model that can be trained for less than $450
On Friday, NovaSky, a team of researchers based out of UC Berkeley's Sky Computing Lab, released Sky-T1-32B-Preview, a reasoning model that's competitive with an earlier version of OpenAI's o1 on a number of key benchmarks. "Remarkably, Sky-T1-32B-Preview was trained for less than $450," the team wrote in a blog post, "demonstrating that it is possible to replicate high-level reasoning capabilities affordably and efficiently." Synthetic training data, or training data generated by other models, has helped drive costs down.

But with the towering, 320-foot rocket primed on the launchpad, Blue Origin had to halt the launch several times before calling it off completely around 3:05 am, Spa

Bezos sees no threat from Musk-Trump ties in space race
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) -Jeff Bezos does not think SpaceX CEO Elon Musk will use his close ties with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to undercut Bezos' rival space company Blue Origin, and was "very optimistic" about the incoming administration's space agenda. The inaugural launch of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, tasked with eventually launching the company's moon lander for NASA, was due early on Monday after several delays, but was postponed for at least another day due to a last-minute issue with the vehicle. New Glenn is a 30-story-tall rocket that is expected to chip away at SpaceX's market dominance and kickstart Blue Origin's long-delayed entrance in the satellite launch business.

Gavin Newsom Hits Back at Elon Musk With Clip of Firefighters Exposing His ‘Lies’
Gavin Newsom has taken to X to share what he believes is a gotcha clip of Elon Musk being “exposed” for lying about the California wildfires. The MAGA billionaire, along with Donald Trump, has been a vocal critic of the governor’s response to the crisis. Trump even dubbed him “Gavin Newscum,” before Musk described him as a “subtard.” Newsom had sensibly refused to get drawn into the war of words, saying he “respect[s] the office” of the incoming president. But, taking to X on Sunday evening, he
