Throughout the 1950s and 60s, aviation engineers struggled to overcome an important issue: That planes became increasingly difficult to control, the closer they got to the sound barrier. It wasn’t until NASA strapped a pair of custom-made wings onto this fighter that supersonic flight became not just feasible, but downright commonplace.

You love burgers, so share that love with your cat and give him or her a comfy burger to sleep in. This ultra plush pillow bed by Petz Route will keep your cat comfy and gives him a nice secluded area that beats any other cat bed.
Although your cat might be a bit scared to climb inside, after seeing you chomp down all of those burgers. It sells for about $20(USD) over on Amazon Japan. For that price, it’s a kitty value meal!
You could get some small pillows that look like hamburger ingredients and complete the look. I’ll take mine with extra cheese. I said cheese, not fleas.

The (floating) sun also rises in Sydney Harbor—in this case, for Opera Australia’s outdoor production of Madama Butterfly. Each night, the sailcloth orb is inflated by two fans and illuminated by 12 LED lights. "Orb master" Andrew Tindal-Davies sits inside, making sure the sun rises without a hitch.

That may be a bit of a stretch for something that’s 6,400 light years away, but given the infinite reaches of outer space, the star factory that NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured in action is relatively nearby.
To celebrate Hubble’s 24th anniversary, the space agency today released a series of stunning images of the “churning” star factory, known as NGC 2174, which was found inside the Monkey Head Nebula. And while these pictures are awe-inspiring, NASA said they are just a taste of what it expects to find when it processes more images of NCG 2174 taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
The star factory is generating huge new stars close to the center of the Monkey Head Nebula, each of which are “blasting away at dust” in the nebula, NASA said in a release. The UV light the stars emit helps form giant pillars from the dust.
The Monkey Head Nebula is largely hydrogen gas, which is ionized by the UV radiation. As that radiation warms the nebula’s d… [Read more]

Apple’s iPhone 5c has not exactly been a model device from Cupertino when it comes to sales figures. We have brought you word that Apple is apparently sitting on 3 million unsold iPhone 5c units, with disappointing sales figures in China, not to mention lagging behind the iPhone 5s overall.
