As night sets in on November 14, wander outside and gawk at the sky. If the weather is clear, the moon will be at its biggest and brightest in nearly 70 years, and it won't put on a similar display until late 2034, astronomers say.
Next Monday, Earth's solitary moon will be the closest it has been to the planet in a long, long time. The biggest and brightest supermoon of the century will be lighting up the sky on Monday night, and if you're planning to get outside and snap some photographs of it you won't be the only one. Here are some things to keep in mind.
Dayshot: "Why on earth would you need more than one person to cosplay as Ant-Man?" you might ask. Well, here's the ingenious answer, spotted at Rocky Mountain Con recently. Sure, it's not the most intricately detailed of costumes, it's definitely one of the most clever.
Nothing classes up a room like a massive, intricate chandelier hanging overhead. But they can be a hassle to find, hard to get home, and complicated to install without tearing a hole in your ceiling. Unless the words "some assembly required" don't frighten you, in which case this flat-packed faux chandelier is a much easier alternative.
Video: There's nothing odd about this. There's nothing surprising about it either. If you watch a very hot knife cut through a piece of styrofoam, it's going to be exactly as satisfying as you'd think it'd be.. The styrofoam shrivels up after each cut and turns into this goo that looks more like a marshmallow than anything else.
Of the approximately eleventy billion books in the original Star Wars Expanded Universe, there are the hallowed (the Thrawn books by Timothy Zahn), the good (the X-Wing books), the bad (The Jedi Academy) and the mediocre (...most of them). And then there's The Crystal Star, a novel so bad it ruined me. Let this article serve as a warning to the rest of the galaxy.
Star Wars has some of the most iconic lines of dialogue in movie history. From the first "Use the Force, Luke" to the latest "Chewie, we're home," we will be reciting these lines long after movie theatres are replaced by VR implants. But, there's still a sad truth we must face: Does anyone remember a damn thing Qui-Gon Jinn said?
Donald Trump is a professional liar. Now that he is the US President-elect with actual President-ing to do, he's angling to make the United States a liar on the international stage.
While Android Pay "launched" in Australia a few months ago, it wasn't a particularly big premiere, with only one of the four major banks on board for the debut. That number might increase to two before 2016 concludes, with support from Westpac reportedly near.

The NES Classic Edition sold out everywhere in a matter of minutes yesterday. Nintendo has promised that more are on the way but that means you have to do things like wait and have patience. The internet is here to help. This video is a twofer. You can experience the vicarious joy of opening that sucker up and you can see what's in its guts just by clicking play.
A few days ago, if you checked out Facebook, there was a high likelihood that the social network would tell everyone that you were dead. It said everyone was dead. Everyone was dead, according to Facebook. Even Zuck.
This would be mind-blowing enough if you just thought it was a cleverly constructed model or something. But the fact that just a single, cut-out sheet of paper was used to make these gorgeous pieces of Star Wars art is frankly incredible.
There's a moment playing Infamous First Light, as the heroine made of light climbs up a wall in pitch black darkness, that I fully appreciate the hype around the PS4 Pro. The woman is a multicolored bundle of light particles and thanks to HDR, I can make out each particle and note the way they each cast their own vibrant glow on on the red brick wall. Normally, she'd be a big blob of light, but high dynamic range gives you details in moments of extreme brightness and extreme darkness. I'm watching the next big step in video games, and it is extraordinary.
Video: Emanuele Fornasier ran an electric current through various chemical solutions and recorded the reaction to reveal the formation of crystals. It's like seeing the birth of a snowflake. The process definitely looks fantastic but in reality, it's really, really slow. It can take hours or even days for the crystals to take shape.
Google seems to have solved every issue I had with an entry-level VR headset. It still worked with your smartphone (well, if you had a Pixel, for now) but it was, well... beautiful.
Its strikingly clever, lightweight, fabric-based design and fancy-looking controller had me making grabby hands during the Google event when it was announced. Well, now I have had it in said hands, strapped firmly to my face, did it live up to expectations?
