Avengers: Endgame is now the highest-grossing film in the known universe after surpassing Avatar at the box office just a few days ago, a title the latter held for a decade. If you haven’t seen the best MCU film to date, you can still find it in theaters because the re-released version is still screening across the country. But you should also know that it’ll soon be available online as a digital version, and in stores in Blu-ray format.

Marvel dropped a great teaser for the film ahead of its digital release, a short blooper reel that shows some of our beloved stars goofing off in front of the camera. But included in the reel might be something a lot better than mistakes made during takes, and that’s a scene that could have been one of the most epic moments in the movie. That is, until they deleted it.

Despite some ongoing and vociferous opposition to T-Mobile and Sprint’s brewing merger, the U.S. Department of Justice today officially approved it. Notably, the approval comes just a few weeks after the Antitrust Division within the DOJ recommended that the $26.5 billion merger be blocked. Incidentally, the FCC indicated that it was amenable to the merger this past May.

There are, naturally, some caveats worth mentioning with respect to the DOJ approval. First and foremost, the merger hinges on Sprint divesting itself from Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, and its own prepaid phone business. Additionally, some of T-Mobile and Sprint’s spectrum will be handed over to Dish.

When a person or their family decides that, after death, their body will be donated to science, they likely don’t imagine having their earthly remains being treated like old meat in a butcher shop. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what was happening inside the walls of an Arizona company called BRC.

When FBI agents raided the medical donation company Biological Resource Center in 2014 they were met with a scene straight out of a horror movie. Buckets of body parts, a cooler filled with penises, and heads stacked, waiting to be sold, were just a few of the things authorities uncovered, according to a newly-released report of the investigation.

Ever since the original iPad launched in 2010, Apple’s competitors have tried to come up with decent alternatives. Most iPad rivals are based on Android, although Microsoft’s Windows 10 is optimized for tablet use and the company makes its own Surface tablet/laptop 2-in-1 devices. The iPad has become more sophisticated over the years, with Apple last year launching a Pro series that’s even more powerful than most traditional computers. The same can’t be said for most iPad alternatives that launched during the same timeframe. However, Samsung is ready to deliver an iPad Pro rival that’s actually compelling, considering that it packs a bunch of nifty features not seen on any other tablets.

Thanks to the nature of light and the fact that it can only move so fast, peering at objects far away means that astronomers can effectively look back in time. Well, “can” is a bit of an understatement since they’re quite literally forced to see things as they were, based on how far away the subject they’re observing is.

In the case of the Hubble Space Telescope’s observations of the distant spiral galaxy NGC 2985, that means seeing the galaxy as it was over 70 million years ago. In a new blog post, NASA highlights a particularly stunning image of the far-away galaxy, and it sure is pretty.
