"We are confident that we will be first to market with the largest collection of iPod nano cases available," said Tim Hickman, general manager of Speck Products. "Rather than reacting to Apple’s new product news last week, we finalized our designs and went into preproduction three weeks ago. As a result, we have a generous head start, with nine unique products in production, and the capacity to produce up to 50,000 units per week of selected top sellers."

Discovery of 139 new minor planets in our solar system may help find Planet Nine

The Blanco Telescope dome at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, where the Dark Energy Camera used for the recently completed Dark Energy Survey was housed.

Astronomers have discovered 139 new "minor planets" in our solar system, beyond the orbit of Neptune. These small objects could provide clues as to whether the mysterious Planet Nine, a hypothesized planet orbiting our sun which has not been directly observed, does really exist.

The minor planets were discovered using data from the Dark Energy Survey, a six-year project mainly focused on understanding dark energy. But the data collected is also useful for finding new bodies in our solar system, particularly trans-Neptunian objects or TNOs, because the survey covers a wide region of the sky in great detail.

Online dashboard tracks the spread of coronavirus cases globally

Concern is growing as cases of COVID-19, better known as the coronavirus, continue to show up in countries around the world. The virus has so far killed more than 4,000 people, many of them in China, and infected more than 100,000 people worldwide. On March 11, the World Health Organization officially categorized the outbreak as a pandemic.

During such times, false information -- whether posted by accident or with ill intent -- can take hold very quickly via social media and other means, creating confusion for those looking for reliable data. Aiming to provide accurate information on the spread of the coronavirus, the Maryland-based Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University has created an online tool that brings together data from several official bodies, including the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC).

U.S. Navy’s robot submarines could carry out autonomous attacks

The U.S. Navy is in the process of developing armed robot submarines, which could theoretically be used to kill without direct human oversight.

The project is being developed by the Office of Naval Research under the name CLAWS, although it has not been made clear exactly what the acronym stands for. In budget documents, the autonomous underwater weapons system is described as being useful for increasing “mission areas into kinetic effects.” New Scientist, which was first to publish details of these documents, describes this as “military-speak for destroying things.”
