Most people now spend the majority of their waking hours indoors. This shift has disconnected many people from the constant variations in natural light that once divided the day from morning alertness to evening relaxation. Philips designed the new SkyLight ceiling fixture to provide some of that experience without requiring a hole in the roof or a view of the sky.

The clips come from separate expeditions and mark a shift from what scientists had seen before.
A dark ribbon of dust slices across the glowing heart of a spiral galaxy in Coma Berenices, creating the appearance that earned Messier 64 its well-known nickname, the Black Eye Galaxy. The feature stands out even in modest amateur telescopes, yet it only hints at far deeper activity inside.
BMW took the stage at the 24 Hours of Le Mans to reveal its next high-performance electrified sedan. The M Concept Neue Klasse is a near-production preview of the electrified M3 due in 2027.

Homebrew keeps the console active long after its commercial peak. A separate project now layers something unexpected onto that foundation by bringing a full PowerPC build of Windows NT to the same machine.
