Kia PV7 Electric Van Reveal
Kia rolled out the PV7 this week at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover as the second all-electric model in its Platform Beyond Vehicle family, a step up from the smaller PV5 that went on sale last year. This one targets the midsize light-commercial segment that fleets actually live in, with a blunt one-box shape, short overhangs, a visor-like dark band wrapping the windshield, thin daytime running lights that climb the A-pillars, and chunky wheel arches that give the sides more presence than a typical delivery box. Passenger and Cargo versions share the same Long shell for now, with Compact, high-roof, chassis-cab, and conversion bodies promised later as Kia works toward 23 variants.

James Webb Space Telescope IC 348 Perseus Constellation

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has released one of its largest public views yet, a near-infrared mosaic of IC 348, a star-forming region 1,000 light-years away in Perseus. Cold molecular hydrogen in that cloud is still collapsing into new stars, and Webb’s NIRCam turned the scene into a wide, crowded field of young suns, leftover dust, and objects so small they sit uncomfortably close to the planet side of the ledger.
