Thanks to ever-advancing observational technology, astronomers can now spot distant galaxies in greater detail than ever before. For scientists, being able to study these distant locations in space is exciting, but when they spot something unexpected, their incredible distance from Earth means coming up with an explanation is difficult.

That’s exactly what a team of researchers using NASA’s NuSTAR space observatory is dealing with after recent observations of the galaxy NGC 6946 revealed powerful flashes of X-ray energy where nobody was expecting them. In a new paper published in The Astrophysical Journal, the scientists venture a guess as to what exactly is going on.

Apple’s new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max handsets will finally be made official on Tuesday during Apple’s big event. And when they do become official, just about everything we’ve seen in leaks and rumors will be confirmed. The new phones follow the same pattern we saw with the iPhone 7 back in 2016 when Apple decided to reuse the same iPhone design for three consecutive years instead of two. As was the case back then, Apple is using a different camera and some new finishes to separate the iPhone 11 lineup from its predecessors, but there’s a big difference between Apple reusing the same design in 2019 as opposed to 2016.

In 2016, Apple’s iPhone 6 design was still reasonably modern. This year, however, rival smartphone makers have long since moved on from the notch design. They have come up with all sorts of new solutions that bring us closer than ever to the all-screen smartphone design of our dreams. Samsung uses hole-punch selfie cameras, OnePlus uses a pop-up camera on the OnePlus 7 Pro, and other Chinese vendors have come up with bold new designs that actually manage push the screen-to-body ratio into the high 90% range. Meanwhile, Apple is still stuck in the low to mid 80% range thanks to the giant notch on its iPhone 11 models. The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max will undoubtedly still sell quite well, but a new set of concept images imagines a beautiful all-screen iPhone with a more modern design that pays homage to what might have been Apple’s best iPhone design ever.

Google is likely to unveil the Pixel 4 series in early October, just like it did with the previous three generations, but the phones are hardly well-kept secrets. As we’ve seen time and time again with earlier models, a variety of Pixel 4 leaks has revealed several details about the handset. But, in a first for the company, Google actually confirmed some of the Pixel 4’s signature features, such as the dual-lens primary camera and rear design of the phone, as well as the 3D face recognition front camera system and new Project Soli radar-based gestures. The Pixel 4 will undoubtedly have a bunch of unique software tricks on top of all that, including a new capability that just leaked that might end up being the phone’s most exciting new feature.

We test a lot of true wireless earbuds these days. Like, A LOT. This somewhat new product segment is insanely popular right now, so pretty much every consumer electronics brand on the planet makes at least one pair of cord-free earphones. There are plenty of very affordable options that are actually quite good, like these true wireless earbuds that only cost $25. But if you want the best possible sound and features, you’ll obviously need to pay a premium. AirPods are obviously the most popular option out there, but there’s no question whatsoever that the Master & Dynamic MW07 True Wireless Earphones are much better. In fact, they completely crush Apple’s AirPods. The catch is that they retail for a whopping $300, but you can snag a pair right now on Amazon for an all-time low of $218.95. That’s less than $20 more than Apple’s high-end AirPods!

Master & Dynamic MW07 True Wireless Earphones – Bluetooth Enabled Noise Isolating Earbuds – Lig…: $218.95

Here’s more info from the product page:

• WIRELESS BLUETOOTH EARPHONES: Quick pairing technology and 20+ meter range of Bluetooth connectivity.

• BEST EARBUDS FOR MUSIC: Whether you want to listen to jazz or hip-hop, MW07 delivers exceptional sound and crisp audio.

• CHARGING CASE: Hand-polished stainless steel charging case provides elegant mobility and holds 3 additional charges for a total of 14 hours of listening time.

Apple will unveil the iPhone 11 series on Tuesday, with all three new iPhones expected to look exactly like their predecessors when it comes to the screen design. Things change on the back where the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro will feature square camera modules with dual or triple cameras. The back of the three handsets will also feature a peculiar change, one that loyal iPhone users will immediately observe. The Apple logo will be placed right in the middle of the handset, some leaks claimed, which is slightly lower than the usual position. It turns out there’s a straightforward explanation for the modification, and it has nothing to do with telling the new generation of iPhone apart from their predecessor.
