A rover without its wheels can’t do much roving at all, so the recent addition of fancy new wheels to the Mars 2020 rover is pretty exciting for NASA and space observers around the world. In a new blog post, NASA shows off some awesome photos of the wheels that were just affixed to the robot in the testing lab.

The wheels, which are made out of aluminum, are quite large compared to those of some of NASA’s past rovers, giving us a nice point of comparison to gauge the difference in the overall size of the robot itself. However, as lovely as these new rover shoes look in the lab, they aren’t fit for duty on Mars.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is just a few weeks away, which means a lucky few have already seen the final chapter in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unsurprisingly, the first wave of reactions is very positive, suggesting that Marvel and Sony have a new hit on their hands. It’s because of these initial reactions that we know for a fact that we’ll have two post-credits scenes right at the end of the film. Far From Home will show us how the world dealt with what happened in Avengers: Endgame, but also how Peter Parker dealt with the loss of his mentor and father figure while continuing his work with the Avengers. But the film, and especially the credits scenes, also has to set up the next wave of Marvel movies — MCU Phase 4, the first eight titles of which already have release dates.

While Samsung keeps comparing its flagship phones to the latest iPhones that Apple makes in the hopes of convincing customers that Galaxy phones are a better option, Samsung is also a huge fan of the iPhone.

Samsung Display happens to be the supplier of most iPhone OLED panels, as Samsung makes the best OLED screens for smartphones. But it turns out that Samsung isn’t happy with iPhone sales, and wants Apple to pay a hefty penalty for all the iPhone screens that it failed to purchase as a result of the slower than expected iPhone sales.
