Spotify has officially acknowledged a curious phenomenon that’s manifested itself recently across the streaming music service’s platform. Fake artists and bands with strange names — and practically no Internet presence at all — have been showing up on legitimate Spotify user playlists. And, presumably, getting legitimate streaming revenue when their fake songs get played.

The bands that are putting a digital, streaming spin on that old bit of wisdom about faking it till you make it include acts like Bergenulo Five, DJ Bruej and Bratte Night. A BBC investigation found that the Bergenulo Five had racked up almost 60,000 track streams, and there seems to be a common thread with so-called “mysterycore” bands like these — songs that have basically no lyrics, minimalist song titles and barebones cover art.

NASA’s 2019 started off with a bang as its New Horizons probe zipped by the most distant object mankind has ever tried to visit, a strange space rock known as Ultima Thule. Scientists quickly discovered that Ultima Thule isn’t one object, but two, making it the first contact binary ever studied in such detail.

Now, as NASA continues to gather more data from the flyby, the New Horizons team has revealed the most detailed glimpse yet of Ultima Thule, and it’s a real stunner.

Do we finally have a sense of why so many key Facebook leaders, particularly co-founders of the myriad products that comprise its suite of apps, have left the company over the last year or so? Maybe, if today’s huge news revealed by The New York Times — about the company’s ambition via a directive from Mark Zuckerberg to integrate all of its messaging services — is any indication. Apparently, Zuckerberg wants to not only make the backend more cohesive for products including WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger. He also wants to make it possible for a Facebook user to start chatting with, say, someone on Instagram who may not even have a Facebook account.

One California congressman, however, is not having it. U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat, took to social media today to blast the social networking giant over the fact that it owns Instagram at all. The company never should have been allowed by antitrust officials to buy Instagram in the first place, Khanna argued, adding that its ownership of the photo-sharing site still raises antitrust concerns in his mind today.

When Apollo 11 astronauts returned from the Moon and handed over the first samples of lunar material ever gathered by human hands it was a monumental moment for NASA and humanity as a whole. It would have been impossible for the astronauts to predict that one of their more mundane pieces of equipment would become the subject of a hefty lawsuit almost half a century later.

Nancy Lee Carlson was the previous owner of a lunar sample return bag that was used during the Apollo 11 mission to carry moon rocks and dust. The bag has an incredible history, and not just because it visited the Moon. As CollectSpace reports, Carlson now alleges that NASA owes her money over damage to the bag.

Buckle up, because this is one very odd story.

Samsung’s Unpacked 2019 event is fast approaching, and there’s starting to be speculation the company may launch a couple of additional products at that time. Specifically, a new Galaxy Fit fitness tracker as well as wireless earbuds.

This news comes after a variety of sites spotted model registrations for two Galaxy Fit variants, both with Bluetooth 5.0 support. Per SamMobile, one is designated as simply ‘Galaxy Fit,’ while the other is listed as ‘Galaxy Fit e’ — and while it’s not clear what the extra letter means, one guess is that it reflects eSIM support. Also, both models will apparently come in black, silver, yellow and white.

Everyone knows that an easy trick to calming a restless infant is to rock them back and forth. For whatever reason, the gentle side-to-side motion seems to soothe small children and lull them off to dreamland.

You wouldn’t exactly expect the same thing to work for a grown adult, but a new study suggests that rocking away while sleeping might actually have some huge benefits, including deeper sleep, waking up less, and even improved memory.
