It’s been a few weeks since Game of Thrones ended, and many fans are still fuming. Season 8 was maybe the most anticipated final season of a TV series in history, but it turned out to be a massive disappointment, with particular emphasis on the second half of the season and the finale. Even so, Game of Thrones season 8 got HBO no less than 32 Emmy nominations. Some of them are well-deserved, but there is one in particular that stands out: David Benioff & D.B. Weiss were nominated in the best writing category for the show’s finale.

That’s ironic considering most people criticize the writing of season 8 above all else, especially what D&D did with the final episodes. Because the showrunners are nominated, HBO made available online the actual script of season 8. One of the things the text reveals is that Drogon is nowhere near as smart or insightful as some fans may have believed. He can’t understand any of the symbolism behind a simple action such as torching the Iron Throne.

If you were to make a list of exoplanets that would be worth visiting in person, WASP-121b wouldn’t be anywhere near the top of your list. There are plenty of exoplanets out there that wouldn’t be comfortable for humans, but WASP-121b is a special kind of hostile, not to mention a shape that will look quite familiar to sports fans.

Astronomers have been studying WASP-121b using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and their observations are incredibly wild. For starters, the planet is incredibly hot, with an upper atmosphere reaching temperatures of 4,600 degrees Fahrenheit. That intense temperature and the proximity of the planet to its host star has also affected its shape.

Not many smartwatches have held a candle to the Apple Watch in terms of sales or notoriety since its debut in 2015. That hasn’t stopped countless vendors from attempting to compete with the behemoth that is Apple, but few have had any real success. One of those few is Fitbit, which finally returned to profit late last year with the launch of the Versa smartwatch. Fitbit even managed to climb into the #2 spot in the US smartwatch category.

That success was short-lived, as Fitbit reported a 27% year-over-year decline in revenue for its most recent quarter. It turns out that no one wanted the Versa Lite, which lacked many of the Versa’s most important features while retailing for just $40 less than the $199 Versa. But Fitbit isn’t down for the count quite yet.

The idea seems totally crazy: A spacecraft with no active propulsion system that can travel through space using light in the same way that a sailboat uses wind. Physics tells us it’s possible, but until scientists could prove it, it remained a good idea on paper only.

Now, with the launch of the crowdfunded LightSail 2, we can finally see the innovative theory put into practice. In a news release from the Planetary Society, researchers declare the LightSail 2 a success, with measurements showing that the spacecraft has indeed begun to travel away from the Earth after unfurling its solar sail.

When you’re an astronaut, food options are somewhat limited during missions into space. You can’t exactly order in, and meals have to be preserved and then reconstituted when you’re finally ready to eat them. Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin knew that all too well, and their historic mission to the Moon included some equally historic meals that were downright strange.

The duo enjoyed at least two meals during their brief stay on the lunar surface, the first coming before the astronauts left the safety of the lunar module to explore the surface. That meal, which was technically the first meal enjoyed by humans on the Moon, sounds a bit like something a hungry college student might eat when funds are running low.
