Thanks to astronomers and their constant search for new bodies moving throughout our solar system, we know about a lot of asteroids. Many of them have long, elliptical orbits around our Sun, swinging through our system — sometimes making close passes of Earth along the way — around the Sun and then back out again.

Now, researchers have spotted an asteroid that never really ventures all that far from the Sun, even at its further point. The object, known as 2019 LF6, completes an orbit of our star every 151 days, and comes far closer to the Sun than even Mercury.

Hard as it might be to imagine a car that can travel at supersonic speeds of up to 1,000 miles per hour, one such project is working to get closer to that goal — the Bloodhound supersonic car project, which has a major speed test set for October.

The car, which has a British team behind it that almost gave the whole thing up last year, will try and hit 500 miles per hour on a new custom-built racetrack on a salt flat in South Africa. Already, the car has reached the 200 mph mark in a test run at Cornwall Airport in the UK back in the fall of 2017, the culmination of a multi-year effort to achieve that feat.

Nintendo confirms that the Switch XL will not be coming out in 2019

$%name Nintendo confirms that the Switch XL will not be coming out in 2019 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

The rumors were true. Nintendo is indeed launching the Nintendo Switch Lite this September for $199, removing the device’s signature ability to “switch” between a portable system and a home console. It’ll make Nintendo a great deal of money, and there’s undoubtedly an audience for a more portable version of the console, but the existence of the Switch Lite begs an obvious question: When are we getting a Switch XL?

Rumors of a cheaper, smaller Switch had been flooding the internet for months ahead of Nintendo’s announcement this week, but there have also been reports of a beefed up Switch with better specifications floating around. It seems inevitable that Nintendo will launch an upgraded Switch at some point, but when?

Japan’s asteroid probe is about to attempt its second daring asteroid touchdown

$%name Japan’s asteroid probe is about to attempt its second daring asteroid touchdown by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Japan is doing some incredible things with its Hayabusa2 asteroid probe. The spacecraft has now spent several months in orbit around the space rock known as Ryugu, and it’s blown not one but two holes into its side. Now, in yet another potentially dangerous maneuver, Japanese space agency JAXA has commanded the probe to perform a brief touchdown on the asteroid’s surface.

The plan is a bold one: The spacecraft is tasked with returning samples of asteroid material back to Earth, but first, it has to uncover some of the material below the outer surface to get a pristine sample. To do that, Hayabusa2 fired two “bullets” into Ryugu’s side. The current sample retrieval is the second such attempt, but there are still many risks.

As far as video streaming options are concerned, you’d be hard-pressed to find a service that offers consumers more bang for the buck than Netflix. Even with a series of incremental price increases over the past few years, the value proposition afforded by Netflix is arguably unrivaled, especially given the avalanche of new content the streaming giant continues to roll out with each passing month.

Nonetheless, some subscribers take an opposing view and believe that Netflix has gotten a tad too pricey. According to a recent survey involving approximately 1,000 Netflix subscribers, 24.3% of respondents believe that Netflix has gotten to expensive.
