%name Astronomers snap photo of second known interstellar object by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The astronomy world received a rare treat last week when an object presumed to be from outside our own solar system was spotted for only the second time ever. At the time, very little was known about the interstellar visitor, but in the days since its initial discovery by an amateur skywatcher, high-powered telescopes have been directed at the object to get a better look.

Now, the Gemini Observatory has released a stunning image of the object, which has been named C/2019 Q4 (Borisov). The object, which is now believed to be a comet, is easily identifiable thanks to its hazy, cone-shaped tail.

A brand new Android phone you can’t buy is as close as we’ve seen to a perfect design

%name A brand new Android phone you can’t buy is as close as we’ve seen to a perfect design by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

We’re getting awfully close to the all-screen phone with all want, thanks to several innovations that have allowed smartphone vendors to reduce bezels to a minimum and increase screen real estate without also increasing the overall footprint of the handset. Most phones still come with various design compromises as technology isn’t quite ready to deliver a perfect all-screen handset with a display that hides the selfie camera, 3D face recognition sensors, fingerprint sensors, and speaker. That’s why we have phones with notches, slide-out cameras, and hole-punch displays.

But a new device announced this week, which you can’t actually buy, gets us even closer to that design.

%name NASA will fire a tiny satellite into the lunar orbit planned for Gateway by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

NASA is sending humans back to the Moon, and they’re doing it on an abbreviated timetable, but in addition to getting boots on the lunar surface, the space agency wants to get an orbiting lunar space station up and running for the first time ever.

The Gateway, which NASA says will serve as a jumping-off point for missions to the Moon, will be placed in a highly elongated orbit. Not wanting to risk stumbling upon an issue at the very last moment, NASA is now going to launch a tiny CubeSat satellite into that same orbit, offering scientists a preview of how the Gateway will travel once it arrives.

Microsoft’s dual-screen Surface may have tech that could improve foldable phones

%name Microsoft’s dual screen Surface may have tech that could improve foldable phones by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Microsoft is widely expected to unveil a few brand-new Surface models in early October in addition to the successors to the Surface Pro and Laptop lines. The company will introduce its first Surface devices packing AMD and ARM processors, as well as the Lite version of Windows 10 that should work on ARM-powered laptops.

And while Microsoft might not launch its dual-screen Surface gadget until next year, the company could unveil it at the upcoming show. Even if Microsoft doesn’t announce the so-called Centaurus device in the coming weeks, we’ve heard plenty of stories that suggest such a device is in the making. And a new finding indicates that Microsoft has designed a foldable device component that may come in handy to smartphone vendors exploring foldable devices.

Nick Fury references X-Men, Spider-Man in secret credits scene

%name Nick Fury references X Men, Spider Man in secret credits scene by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Spider-Man has left the MCU most unexpectedly, but Marvel has plenty on its plate without him. After all, the studio just got its hands on a few valuable possessions following Disney’s Fox acquisition. Marvel has confirmed that X-Men and Fantastic Four projects are in the works, though they remain mysterious for now.

But Marvel just revealed that it had its sights on the mutants and Peter Parker ever since it kicked off this cinematic universe with Iron Man all those years ago. That’s because Marvel actually filmed a credits scene for Iron Man that made specific references to both. Sadly, that scene couldn’t be shown because the X-Men belonged to Fox at the time, and Sony owned Spider-Man. That has changed, however, and you can watch that scene right now.
