Eight separate records from Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic observers place a new star in Cassiopeia between August 4-6, 1181. It stayed visible for 185 days, long enough for court astronomers to log it during the Genpei War in Japan and the reign of Henry II in England. One of only five Milky Way supernovae people recorded before telescopes existed, that guest star faded and left no obvious wreck for modern catalogs to claim.

CMOUNTIPHONE2 Mounting DSLR Lenses iPhone 13 Mod
Evan Monsma spent a few days in Indianapolis turning a broken iPhone 13 into something he calls CMOUNTIPHONE2, a phone that can take Canon EF lenses meant for a full-size DSLR. His earlier attempt had already put cinema glass on a wrecked iPhone. That mount was wood, a modified C-to-CS ring, and a bead of super glue. The glue let go.

AGILINK Omnilink Ultra 3 Robot Hand Suzhou Embroidery
Silk bends, slips, and changes shape the moment a fingertip presses a little too hard. In Suzhou, master embroiderer Fu Xianghong spent a session teaching AGILINK’s OmniHand 3 Ultra the opening moves of a craft that runs back more than 2,500 years: separating a main silk thread into 16 finer strands, threading a needle, stretching fabric across a hoop, and putting in the first stitches. One finger teases the strands apart while the others hold tension so the thread does not collapse. For a twist, opposing fingertips stay in contact and let the silk turn without losing their grip.
