NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has been steadily progressing since the spacecraft arrived at the diamond-shaped space rock known as Bennu a few months back, but not everything has gone completely to plan.

The rock ended up being far more, well, dirty than NASA originally expected. Bennu’s surface is absolutely packed with debris, posing a challenge for NASA’s team that still has to decide where to have the probe touch down on the asteroid to collect samples. Now, using a laser instrument built into OSIRIS-REx, NASA has a detailed look at how dangerous the surface truly is.

Try as Apple might, the company simply can’t keep iPhone rumors from springing up every single year. Despite Tim Cook’s promise a few years back to “double down” on product secrecy, the reality is that Apple’s supply chain is so vast that it becomes practically impossible to keep tidbits about upcoming iPhone models from seeing the light of day.

With that said, we’re already starting to see a steady stream of reports regarding Apple’s next-gen iPhone lineup. Specifically, a number of credible sources have indicated that Apple’s 2019 iPhone lineup will closely resemble its 2018 iPhone lineup, which is to say that there will be a 6.1-inch device with an LCD display along with two OLED models in 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch flavors.

We’re exactly three weeks away from the Avengers: Endgame premiere, which means we’re going to see more and more fan theories and purported leaks with each day that brings us closer to the MCU film we’re all been dying to see. We’ve mined those misleading trailers that Marvel put out for clues as to what will happen next, and we saw plenty of spoilers trickle from toy leaks and Marvel partners. Even though we have an idea of the film’s plot, especially the early part of the first act, we’re barely scratching the surface of a movie that’s going to be over three hours long. And that’s because there just isn’t enough confirmed information to work with.

That said, there are still plenty of leakers who claim to have had access to the movie, and we’ve already featured a bunch of those accounts. But there are all sorts of conflicting details in these leaks, and while certain plot elements do overlap, we can’t trust any of it for sure. I’m telling you all this just as I’m about to show you what happens in Avengers 4, according to a person who claims to have seen an early screening of the film. There’s no way to verify any of this, but some information does seem to be supported by other leaks. Now’s your last chance to leave if you want avoid some potentially massive spoilers.

A resupply mission for the International Space Station, Progress MS-11, took off yesterday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, eventually docking with the space station and providing its inhabitants with over 5,400 pounds of supplies. In many ways it was exactly like the countless resupply missions carried out before it, but in one way it was very special.

The mission, which was carried out by Russian space agency Roscosmos, took just three hours and 21 minutes to go from Earth to a successful docking with the ISS. That’s incredibly fast, and it’s actually now the fastest trip to the International Space Station ever, beating out the previous record (also set by a Progress resupply spacecraft) by a solid 19 minutes.
