The internet’s been chugging along, powering 4K streams, cloud gaming, and AI’s number-crunching frenzy, but its fiber optic backbone is starting to sweat under the load. Enter Japan’s National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), which just smashed records with a mind-boggling 1.02 petabits per second data transfer over 1,808 kilometers (NYC to Minneapolis or Berlin to Lisbon). That’s enough juice to download Netflix’s entire catalog in one second flat.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just gave the Sombrero Galaxy—Messier 104—a mind-blowing makeover, catching this cosmic icon 30 million light-years away in a way that leaves Hubble’s classic shots in the dust. Unlike Hubble’s visible-light pics, where a glowing core and stark dust lane steal the show, Webb’s near-infrared image flips things, spotlighting a dazzling central bulge while the dust fades into the background, building on its trippy mid-infrared view from late 2024.

If approved, it could be operational by the 2030s, built entirely by robots in a pristine, radio-quiet zone on the moon’s far side.
