In a mark of its huge impact on the world of science and astronomy, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope finds itself once again as the inspiration for a new set of stamps from the United States Postal Service (USPS). Two new stamps issued this month feature iconic images captured by Webb, one of them showing a spiral galaxy called NGC 628. “Webb’s observations combine near- and mid-infrared light to reveal glowing gas and dust in stark shades of orange and red, as well as finer spiral shapes with the appearance of jagged edges,” NASA said of the image (below), adding…

Table of Contents Table of Contents Transforming the DLSS model One frame, two frame The flagship dilemma It’s hard to say if the RTX 5090 or DLSS 4 won Nvidia more limelight over the past week.

DLSS 4 is remarkable, enabling gaming experiences like full path tracing in Alan Wake 2 at triple-digit frame rates without breaking a sweat. Still, I’m worried. DLSS 4 represents a radical change for…

Through the first four films in Robert Eggers‘s career, the director has made movies set in different time periods and with wildly different tones. What unites each of those movies, though, is that they are set in a time long before the advent of modern technology, one where it felt more possible to believe in magic and mysticism. In an interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Eggers made it clear that his long-ago settings are a highly intentional choice. “The idea of having to photograph a car makes me ill,” Eggers said. “And the idea of photographing a cellphone is just death.…

It’s what doesn’t get nominated that really ticks people off. Last January, even Hillary Clinton weighed in on the “snubbing” of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig, star and writer-director, respectively, of Barbie. This year, grievances have been aired on behalf of Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, and Dune director Denis Villeneuve. None of the above heard their names called on Thursday morning when the nominations for the 2025 Oscars were unveiled. Regretfully, we are not…
