Jeff Bezos Sells $4 Billion in Amazon Stock Ahead of Florida Relocation
"Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is continuing his divestment from the e-commerce giant, recent regulatory filings indicating the sale of more than $4 billion in stock over the past week. This follows earlier reporting of Bezos' 50-million share sell-off plan to be completed by 2025, through Morgan Stanley as his brokerage firm. -
Elon Musk Maps Out Strategy for Million-Person Mars Settlement
"Elon Musk, the visionary behind SpaceX, has once again captured public imagination with his audacious blueprint for interplanetary colonization. Musk's latest pronouncements outline a staggering ambition: to transport one million humans to Mars, a goal he shared in a succinct response on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Races Past Earth at 137,000 mph, Exposing Gaps in Planetary Defense
An interstellar object moving at roughly 137,000 miles an hour is making its closest approach to Earth this week, drawing intense scrutiny from astronomers and planetary-defense officials despite posing no direct threat. Known as 3I/ATLAS, the comet is only the third confirmed visitor from beyond the solar system and is traveling on a hyperbolic trajectory that has sharpened concerns about how quickly such objects can be detected and tracked.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Displays 500,000-Kilometer Sunward Anti-Tail, Defying Standard Models
Astronomers are intensifying scrutiny of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS after images captured this week revealed a massive, sunward-facing anti-tail extending roughly half a million kilometers-longer than the average distance between Earth and the Moon-an observation that challenges conventional comet physics as the object approaches its closest pass by Earth. -
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Makes Closest-Ever Pass, Offering Rare Clues to Alien Planet Formation
Astronomers are preparing for a rare observational opportunity as interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS approaches its closest point to Earth on Dec. 19, marking the nearest encounter humanity will ever have with the object. The visitor, which originated outside the solar system, is only the third confirmed interstellar body ever detected passing through Earth's neighborhood, offering scientists an unusually clear look at material formed around another star.

Starlink’s Cash Flow Pushes SpaceX Toward Public Markets and Historic Valuation
SpaceX is laying the groundwork for a potential initial public offering that could rank among the largest and most consequential market debuts in modern financial history, as the company's valuation surges on the back of rapid growth at its satellite internet unit, Starlink, according to people familiar with the plans.

Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Exposes Gaps in Planetary Defense as Detection Timelines Shrink
The passage of the interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS through the inner solar system is prompting scientists and planetary-defense officials to reassess long-standing assumptions about how Earth identifies and prepares for potential cosmic threats. While the object itself poses no danger-its closest approach on Dec. 19 will occur at a distance of roughly 270 million kilometers-the circumstances of its arrival are underscoring vulnerabilities in existing detection and response frameworks.

Leaked iOS Roadmap Signals Apple’s Expanding Push Into Subscriptions and Deeper Ecosystem Lock-In
Leaked internal Apple software code is offering an unusually detailed look at the company's long-term strategy, suggesting that future versions of iOS will place a heavier emphasis on subscription services, tighter ecosystem integration and stronger control over how users access Apple platforms. The findings, first reported by Macworld, are based on an internal iOS 26 build used by Apple engineers to test unreleased features.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Defies Expectations as Sun-Facing Anti-Tail Shifts Near Earth Approach
Astronomers monitoring the interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS say new observations show an unexpected shift in the orientation of its rare "anti-tail" as the object approaches its closest point to Earth, adding fresh complexity to the scientific effort to understand material formed beyond the solar system. The change has been confirmed by multiple observatories and has become a focal point for debate over how dust and radiation interact in interstellar comets. -
Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Turns Green Ahead of Dec. 19 Earth Flyby, Offering Rare Chemical Clues
Astronomers tracking the interstellar comet known as 3I/ATLAS report that the object has brightened markedly and developed a faint green glow as it approaches its closest pass by Earth, sharpening scientific interest in only the third confirmed visitor from beyond the solar system. The color shift, documented in late November observations, is being closely analyzed as a potential indicator of the comet's chemical makeup and thermal evolution as it responds to increasing solar heat.

As 3I/ATLAS Passes Earth, Astronomers Detect Low Water and High Carbon Dioxide Signature
An interstellar comet racing through the inner solar system is giving scientists a rare chemical snapshot of material formed around another star, with early findings showing an unexpectedly low water content and a high concentration of carbon dioxide. The object, known as 3I/ATLAS, is only the third confirmed interstellar visitor ever detected and is now approaching its closest point to Earth before continuing on a one-way exit from the solar system. -
Online Claims of Secret U.S. Tracking of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Collide With Scientific Record
The arrival of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS in the inner Solar System in late 2025 sparked a burst of scientific observation-and a parallel surge of online claims that U.S. authorities had quietly tracked the object for decades through a classified planetary defense program known as CASSANDRA. No U.S. agency has confirmed the existence of such a program or any prior monitoring of the comet, and scientists say the evidence cited online does not withstand scrutiny.
