Though only about half of all lunar landing attempts have succeeded without crashing, space fans will likely get many spectacular Earth and moon photos along the way, like the latest one beamed back by Japan: Its uncrewed SLIM mission, short for Smart Lander for Investigating the Moon, captured a rare snapshot of Earth looming over the moon, though you might have to squint to see it. Japan, illuminated at dawn, is circled on Earth in the picture.

Why does the moon appear so far away?

Prosecutors said in a court filing last week that the two sides have not yet engaged in “substantive” plea discussions.

He shared military secrets he illegally collected from his intelligence unit with other Discord users, authorities said — first by typing out classified documents he accessed and then sharing photographs of files that bore SECRET and TOP SECRET markings.

We’ve all seen enough police procedurals to know the ordinary flow of a criminal investigation: first, law enforcement develops suspicion; then, it gets a warrant and seizes evidence, like a cellphone or computer, from a suspect; and finally, there is a trial. But sometimes in real life, instead of winding down like an hour-long episode on A&E, that final act is delayed or never happens.

A federal circuit court rightly found the government may not hold on to our digital devices or data indefinitely.

Some of the most popular music streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music are great but they have their own limitations. While you can pay to subscribe to their platform and listen to the music available in their library, your favorite songs can vanish anytime depending on the licensing. That's just one of the reasons it makes sense to buy and own your music.

When it comes to everyday listening, a network music streamer is one of the best ways to enjoy all your digital music on just about any hi-fi system you have.

Programming is a collaboration between humans and computers.

A new study found that employees with skills in artificial intelligence (AI) can earn salaries as much as 40% higher than peers without AI skills. But the real value, they found, was combining AI skills with a wide range of other skills. The secret to commanding higher salaries is something called “complementarity” — the ability to combine valuable non-AI skills with AI skills. The research was done at the Oxford Internet Institute and the Center for Social Data Science at the University of Copenhagen.
