Meta is currently the market leader in VR, and no company does even get close to its sales numbers. The Quest 2 is a great gaming machine offered at a ridiculous price, and it has totally crushed the competition. It is the first headset that has (most probably) crossed the 10M sold units, and alone it accounts for more than 50% of VR users on Steam… without even being a native PCVR device.

NASA is prepping for an ambitious extraterrestrial mission. In concert with the European Space Agency, NASA plans to launch rock samples from Mars ( currently being collected by the Perseverance rover ) and send them to Earth, an endeavor aptly named the "Mars Sample Return Campaign." The U.S. space agency recently tested a sturdy "aeroshell" that could one day drop to the desert floor with the precious Martian cargo.

To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

This is a tale of survival. In the deep cosmos, the Hubble Space Telescope found evidence that a star remains after its companion star (they orbited each other) went supernova — an extremely powerful stellar explosion. The exploded star, dubbed supernova 2013ge, jostled — but didn't destroy — its nearby companion, explained NASA. Astronomers think that (unlike the sun) most stars have companions.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness lives up to its name. There's a lot of multiverse action and all of it is completely bonkers. Between the gruesome deaths, Wanda's entire arc, and the giant green minotaur nobody explains , the phrase "we're all mad here" has never been more apt. These are the 14 maddest things in Multiverse of Madness , ranked, of course, by how jaw-droppingly unhinged they are.

Peering down on Mars, a distant NASA satellite captured curious lines crisscrossing a Martian crater. There's no doubt these are natural tracks left by Martian dust devils, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) research team at the University of Arizona told Mashable. HiRISE is the powerful camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the satellite capturing rich imagery of the red planet's evolving surface.

Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical. But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong! Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.

Fisher-Price's Meditation Mouse is a plush toy with a gentle personality designed to teach toddlers and preschoolers mindfulness using guided meditation tracks. If that sounds like an improbable task, it can't be any harder than calming a toddler mid-tantrum or helping an antsy 4-year-old crawl back into bed for the 10th time in an hour. Parents who know either of these battles well may look to Meditation Mouse for clutch assistance.

Just as this decision leaked, the Gilded-Age themed Met Gala partied on.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
