RELATED: Underappreciated Dystopian Sci-Fi Movies With that being said, oftentimes there comes a sci-fi movie that veers more into “science” than “fiction”. These movies not only paint unique and interesting pictures of societies that could be, but do so by recognizing how their fantasies could one day come to fruition. 5 The Martian Ridley Scott’s surprising sci-fi comedy-drama stars Matt Damon as an astronaut who finds himself trapped on Mars, and then is forced to find a way to survive on a seemingly inhospitable planet....

Shastri was born with the most powerful planet in the universe, Pluto, in its exaltation point in his third house. The third house indicates the ‘hands’ and the ‘tongue’ in astrology. Didn’t he excel in both these departments? He was a decent batsman and a good spinner. And a damn good commentator later on. That brings us to his latest assignment involving his tongue; that of a coach. His excelling in this job depends on the planets impacting him in the next three years....

As well as allowing for the discovery of a new distant galaxy, the cosmic optical illusion has provided scientists with a rare example of an alignment of a galaxy with Earth so precise it causes three perfect copies of the same distant object. The reflected images have been named Hamilton’s Object, after their discoverer Timothy Hamilton, an astronomer at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio....

The scientific interest in the planet, known as Nu2 Lupi d, was sparked after researchers spotted it using the European Space Agency’s Cheops satellite.

Researchers already knew that the planet was there because previous studies of the star, called Nu2 Lupi, showed that it had three planets orbiting it called b, c, and d....

University of Manchester researchers have been advising government and energy sector leaders on the safe development of AI robots being used in extreme environments. The University of Manchester said “hot robotic” systems were originally designed to work in radioactive environments in decommissioned nuclear reactors, but found a new use in the fields of nuclear fusion power, agriculture, the energy sector, and even space exploration. The university said in a statement: “As part of an ambitious R&D program to maintain UK leadership in robotic technologies, Manchester experts are applying AI technologies to ‘hot robotics’ as they will increasingly need to act independently of human operators as they enter a range of danger zones to carry out highly complex tasks....

A co-author of the study told Newsweek broadening our understanding of how taste works could help make food more delicious, as well as treating humans with certain health problems. There are three types of taste cells in taste buds. Type I, which help out other cells; Type II, which pick up bitter, sweet and umami flavors; and Type III, which detect sour and salty tastes. The authors of the paper published in the journal PLOS Genetics found a new subset of “very broadly tuned” Type III cells in mice that respond to bitter, sweet, umami and sour flavors, but not salt, co-author Kathryn Medler, associate professor of biological sciences at the University at Buffalo, told Newsweek....

A fast start to the contest culminated in the opening try, with hot-stepping Scotland full-back Ollie Smith diving over in the corner to score on just his second appearance in dark blue. That start gave way to a jittery match littered with penalties, and Scotland were at fault for many of them. Repeated infringements allowed Australia to close the gap through Bernard Foley, whose two three-pointers from the tee gave the tourists a 6-5 lead at half-time....
