This March 20, 2026, image of Messier 64, or the Black Eye Galaxy, is a composite view from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope. It shows Messier 64 captured at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths by Webb, while Hubble’s image shows the galaxy in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. Messier 64 is characterized by its bizarre internal motion. The gas in the outer regions of this spiral galaxy is rotating in the opposite direction from the gas and stars in its inner regions.

I’ve struggled with insomnia since I was very young. Like many chronic overthinkers, I tend to fall asleep best when my mind is occupied by something else, such as podcasts, YouTube compilations, or my personal favorite: rain sounds. But earbuds can be uncomfortable, and playing audio out loud isn’t exactly considerate when I’m staying at my partner’s place.  That’s why I was intrigued by the new Peace Duo Under-Pillow Speaker from Jabees. Launched last month, this ultra-thin speaker utilizes bone conduction technology—which sends vibrations through your skull directly to your inner ear—to transmit sound through your pillow and into your…

Some protesters out in support of the Carnival Against Fascism clashed with police in riot gear on Trafalgar Street this afternoon. Reporter Francesca Williams saw tensions rise between the two groups just before 3pm. She said: “Some of the anti-fascist protesters were pushing back against the police and it’s all getting quite heated.” She added: “There’s a man shouting on a megaphone saying ‘the police are getting more violent we need to hold the line’. But the protesters were “getting more pushy”, she added. She then witnessed protesters running away from the scene, claiming they had been pepper-sprayed and throwing…

This coming Saturday a couple from California land at Keflavík at a quarter to nine in the morning. They have nine days. They are not basing themselves in one town and taking day trips out from it.

I do not yet know how it goes. Normally we write these stories the other way round. A tour finishes, we sit down, and we…
