I’m still trying to figure out how this MacBook Air was only $240

TL;DR: Save 75% on this classic MacBook Air with a refurbished model while supplies last.

Like almost everyone, I’ve always wanted a Mac. Maybe it was watching Carrie Bradshaw write with one or seeing them around my college campus, but the price tag always kept me a (regretfully) loyal PC user. Then I heard about refurbished MacBook deals. I nabbed a MacBook Air for only $239.99 (a $999 value) — can you believe it?

NASA shut off a Voyager instrument. Only these 4 remain.

Nuclear fuel lasts a long time. But not forever.

Both Voyager craft, launched in 1977, convert heat produced by the decay of radioactive plutonium-238 into electricity. Over the decades, NASA engineers have strategically shut off instruments to extend the life of Voyager 1 and 2, which are respectively well over 15 and 12 billion miles away. As their mission nears a half century, this fuel is dwindling, and the agency just turned off another gadget on Voyager 2, leaving it with four remaining...

The best noise-cancelling earbuds include the most comfortable buds I've ever tested

Over-the-ear headphones are everyone's usual go-to solution for blocking out the world. And listen, I get it. You couldn't pry my Sony WH-1000XM4s out of my cold dead hands. But honestly, as much as I love them, carrying around a clunky pair of headphones when I'm on the go is not ideal. I want a pair of headphones to tuck in my pocket that will still block out noise. That's the promise of the best noise-cancelling earbuds

NASA releases photo of ocean world. It shows why NASA's going there.

NASA's about to launch a huge spacecraft to a world harboring voluminous seas.

Planetary scientists suspect Jupiter's moon Europa contains an ocean at least twice the size of Earth's. The Europa Clipper probe — which is the length of a basketball court and the largest craft the agency has sent on a planetary mission — is slated to blast to this distant realm on Oct. 10. Before the launch, NASA released a new detailed view of the moon's cracked surface, which shows why for decades...

"It Is A Really Exclusive Industry": 18 Actors Who Were Pressured Or Chose To Change Their Accents For Hollywood

Kumail Nanjiani said, "So there was a really, really big movie, actually, that I auditioned for, and I was a taxi driver, and the director was like, 'Hey, could you play up the accent a little bit?' And I was like, 'I'm sorry, I won't.' And then the guy felt really bad. And I was like, 'No, it's fine. I'm just not going to do it. If that's what you want, I'm not your guy.'
