Since it landed in November 2018, InSight has been operating for more than 920 sols (Mars days),...

Instead, the experience felt more like inserting my hand into a 3D printer. Cameras inside an oversized microwave-like purple box scanned each fingernail. Then a small tube of purple-gray polish that...

There’s probably a scientific explanation for why we’ve have been so susceptible to a good old-fashioned catchy tune this year. Stripped raw by the trauma and stress of a global pandemic, reduced to a brain-in-a-jar with one hand for constant phone scrolling, unable to process the complex emotions of some of our favourite “real” music, and subjected to the infinite...
