Man Convicted of Dismembering College Student After First Date

Researchers have unveiled the largest map of the universe ever created, encompassing nearly 800,000 galaxies and stretching back to the infant years of the cosmos, approximately 13 billion years ago. According to the Cosmic Evolution Survey collaboration, the map, released on Thursday, covers a 0.54-degree-squared area of the sky, roughly three times the apparent size of the moon as viewed from Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) dedicated 255 hours to observe the COSMOS field—an area with minimal interference from stars or gas clouds. This allowed scientists to survey the universe across multiple wavelengths of light. "Since the telescope turned on, we've been pondering whether JWST datasets might disrupt the cosmological model," stated Caitlin Casey, a co-leader of the COSMOS project from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She emphasized that JWST has revealed about ten times more galaxies than anticipated at such vast distances. The COSMOS-Web map is now accessible to amateur astronomers and the public, promoting wider engagement with these groundbreaking discoveries.

A recent online spat between Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and former President Donald Trump has resulted in a stunning $152 billion loss in Tesla's market capitalization, alongside a decline of over $100 million in value for TrumpCoin. On Thursday, Musk criticized Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," which includes immigration restrictions and cuts to green energy subsidies, sparking a fiery exchange on social media platforms X and Truth Social. According to reports, Tesla’s stock experienced a 14% drop, marking its most significant one-day decline in years. Trump retaliated by suggesting Musk opposed the bill to protect electric vehicle tax credits beneficial to Tesla. High-profile allies like Steve Bannon have urged Trump to terminate Musk’s government contracts, while Musk has threatened to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft. This feud comes at a critical time for Tesla, as it prepares to launch its long-anticipated robotaxi service in Austin, Texas. Musk's claims of Tesla not needing federal tax credits have been met with skepticism, and public protests against both Musk and Trump have intensified as a grassroots initiative gains momentum.

A significant data breach has compromised the personal information of over 86 million AT&T customers, including 44 million social security numbers, according to a report by Hack Read. The ShinyHunters hacking group allegedly accessed the data in April 2024, exploiting vulnerabilities in the Snowflake cloud data platform. Customers' sensitive information—including full names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses—has now reportedly been decrypted and is being sold on dark web forums, as stated by an AT&T spokesperson in a statement to Mashable. The spokesperson added that such breaches are becoming increasingly common as cybercriminals repackage previously disclosed data for profit and confirmed that the company is conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. AT&T customers are advised to verify if their data has been compromised by using a tool from cybersecurity firm Pentester at npd.pentester.com, especially considering that some of the leaked data may have already been exposed in an earlier National Public Data breach in August 2024, which unveiled extensive social security records online.
