The Hubble Space Telescope is still trucking along more than 30 years after its launch, observing the universe and sending home images for us to marvel at. This week, NASA and ESA highlighted an image captured by Hubble of the highly productive Tarantula Nebula (officially named 30 Doradus) in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and its a sight to behold. The Large Magellanic Cloud may be only 10-20% as massive as our Milky Way galaxy, but it boasts some of the most impressive star-forming regions in the nearby Universe! 1/3 pic.twitter.com/juulDT44mD HUBBLE (@HUBBLE_space) January 23, 2025 The Tarantula Nebula is the largest and most productive star-forming region in the local universe, with stars roughly 200 times as massive as the sun at its center, according to NASA. This Hubble view gives us a look at the outskirts of the nebula, revealing layers of colorful gas and stars. The Tarantula Nebula sits within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby dwarf galaxy. While the final result we see is filled with brilliant colors, Hubbles images initially come back in grayscale. As NASA has explained, scientists can create a composite color image by taking exposures using different color filters on the telescope, assigning a color to each filter that corresponds to the wavelength of that filter, and combining the images. The new image of the Tarantula Nebula doesnt just represent visible light, but ultraviolet and infrared too. In such a case, colors are assigned to those wavelengths we cant normally see.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/science/space/nasa-and-esa-share-a-breathtaking-hubble-image-of-the-tarantula-nebulas-outer-edge-202349788.html?src=rss

An obscure horror game from the late 80s that gained a cult following by way of shareware is coming back from the grave. Last Half of Darkness, a point and click horror adventure created by developer Bill Fisher, has been completely remade with modern graphics, along with a new soundtrack and updates to the story and puzzles, according to Eurogamer. Fishers WRF Studios shared a teaser for the remake on Friday, and the game is due to be released on Steam on February 7. In the game, youre tasked with exploring the creepy property of the player characters dead aunt, solving puzzles and making choices that hopefully wont get you killed. The description explains: Your aunt sure was a strange one. She was some sort of witch or something. A good witch though, practicing only good spells and magic. In fact, she was working on a potion just before she was killed. Now the secret will go to the grave with her... unless you can find the missing ingredients. The original Last Half of Darkness is available to play for free from the official website, too. In a playthrough a few years ago, one streamer (and some commenters) remembered it as the first game to ever scare me.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/the-1989-point-and-click-horror-game-last-half-of-darkness-has-been-remade-for-2025-184458750.html?src=rss

Following a report by NPR that said the Trump administration is working on a deal with Oracle and other investors to take over TikTok in the US, Trump has denied any talks with Oracle but says he has spoken to many people about TikTok and may make a decision in the next month, according to Reuters. Trump signed an executive order shortly after taking office on Monday that delays the enforcement of the TikTok ban by 75 days, giving the apps parent company ByteDance more time to figure out a deal that would allow it to continue US operations. NPR, citing sources with direct knowledge of the talks, originally reported that Oracle met with White House officials on Friday to discuss a deal in which Oracle and other American investors would end up with a majority stake in TikTok and oversee things like data collection. Microsoft has also been involved with the talks, according to NPR. The goal is for Oracle to effectively monitor and provide oversight with what is going on with TikTok, an unnamed source told NPR. ByteDance wouldn't completely go away, but it would minimize Chinese ownership. When asked about a potential deal with Oracle by reporters during an Air Force One flight Saturday night, though, Trump said, per Reuters, No, not with Oracle. Numerous people are talking to me, very substantial people, about buying it and I will make that decision probably over the next 30 days. Prior to the ban going into effect on January 19, ByteDance pushed back against the idea of selling TikTok to appease US lawmakers. But it changed its tune on Sunday after Trump stepped in to temporarily bring the app back online, issuing a statement on TikToks X account saying that the company will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States. It came a few hours after Trump wrote in a Truth Social post during the short-lived TikTok blackout that he would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture. Still, his exact plan remains unclear. According to one of the sources that spoke with NPR, Nobody seems to know what he means with the 50 percent equity comments.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/trump-denies-talks-with-oracle-about-a-tiktok-deal-but-says-a-decision-will-likely-be-made-within-30-days-163755199.html?src=rss
