Giliam de Carpentier’s a proud father. His baby has taken its first steps. That baby’s a sleek-looking 12-legged table de Carpentier built to get around on its own. The capital letters are entirely appropriate here, as they emphasize the table’s highly unusual skill. de Carpentier made his table legs stronger and more stable by adding an extra joint. This shows the the walking table’s leg mechanism in more detail. So why did de Carpentier, an engineer for a gaming company, build a walking table?...

It followed that triumph with a flyby of the gas giant itself. NASA took images from those adventures and created a"starship captain" point-of-view videothat’s truly astounding. It’s a beautiful blend of science, space exploration and movie magic. The video uses images from the spacecraft’s JunoCam mapped onto digital models to create a seamless flyby animation. The extension includes a new focus on the gas giant’s fascinating moons. That’s where Ganymede comes into play....

More than 6 million people watched the YouTube video of the speech and song in just five hours. (Fast-forward 30 minutes in to see the band speak; the performance begins at about 38 minutes.) The video begins with the K-pop band at the podium in the UN General Assembly. Then they dance through the aisles and outside, where they’re joined by other dancers. In their UN speech, band members heartily endorsed the coronavirus vaccine....

Adejuyigbe has been releasing his 9/21 videos for the last six years, racking up millions of views. It’s become one of those internet sensations that you didn’t see coming.

Adejuyigbe is once again using his video tohighlight three charities. First is Imagine Water Works, a nonprofit based in New Orleans helping with disaster response to Hurricane Ida....

Eruptions on the sun could trigger a geomagnetic storm on Earth this week. Extreme space weather can disrupt radio communications and even affect the power grid. This time it’s most likely that the main impact will be brilliant auroras. Couple things to note: (1) A section of it twists (magnetic energy being released). CMEs often follow strong solar flares. All these influences converging on our little planet have skywatchers excited....

You canread about that here. First, we should reiterate there’s no need to be alarmed. The asteroid Dimorphos, which circles a larger asteroid known as Didymos, poses no threat to Earth. Another mission, scheduled to launch in 2024, will rendezvous with Didymos sometime in 2026. But that’s for later. For now, here’s how it’s possible for you to see DART’s demise. The spacecraft will collide with Dimorphos at4:14 p.m. PT/7:14 p....

New video footage from the viewpoint ofNASA’sPerseverance rover gives us a different perspective on the plucky chopper’s exploits. Percy was in a good position towatch Ingenuity when it took offfor its13th flighton Sept. 4. The flight lasted just over 160 seconds. The space agency said it “stands out as one of Ingenuity’s most complicated.” The rotorcraft lifts off and makes an aerial exploration of a region in the Jezero Crater named Seitah....

The Samsung Smart TV provides apps for streaming and more. DHDR 600 support implies it has some level of local dimming for the IPS panel’s backlight. It’s also got a matte screen, which doesn’t cost extra. That’s a big can of ambiguity. Phone cameras are not designed to specifications and tolerances that qualify them as precision colorimeters, among other things. Its color calibration app has been used for TVs, which have different requirements than color-critical monitors....

you could’t just ask a shark, “What’s you favorite eating position?” You have to go where they live and find out yourself. The footage turned up some fascinating feeding moves, including a “walking” style of behavior. All told, they gathered 233 observations. Theuniversity shared a compilation videowith some of the greatest hits from the feeding footage. Underwater cameras have revealed the range of skills nurse sharks use when feeding. If you have an inclination to think sharks can be cute, this should cement that notion....

Netflix is about to get a little creepier. Resident Evil hits Netflix on July 14. Thing, the disembodied hand, makes an appearance on her shoulder. The show is slated to debut this fall. We woefully present@wednesdayaddams. It will star notable actors like Rupert Grint, Ben Barnes and Crispin Glover. Cabinet of Curiosities is coming later this year.

Tasked with announcing their 2022 schedule this week, the Los Angeles Chargers got creative. As of this writing, it’s amassed more than 63,000 retweets and more than 180,000 likes. “Should we REALLY make our schedule release video an anime?” the tweet’s caption says. Based on the replies to the post, viewers are glad they did. One person simply replied with a meme of Adam Sandler, taken from the movie Uncut Gems....

The giant planet with the goofy name deserves some love, too. TheUniversity of Hertfordshire Bayfordbury Observatorycaptured a gorgeous look at Uranus dancing with its moons. Theobservatory team shared several videos last week of Uranus in action, captured during opposition on Nov. 4. Opposition is when the planet is opposite the sun with Earth in the middle. The celestial objects appear to slide across space as the stars in the background hold still....
