Comet MAPS: A Potential Naked-Eye Visitor for Spring

Astronomers are buzzing about Comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS), a Kreutz sungrazer discovered in Chile that could become a bright naked-eye comet if it survives its extreme Sun approach at perihelion in early April. Its current magnitude is faint, and experts split on whether it will survive and brighten; by early March we should have a clearer forecast. If MAPS performs, it could grace the western evening sky in mid-April after sunset, but many Kreutz comets disintegrate near perihelion. The MAPS name honors the team that developed its discovery program.

Maryland panel approves Democratic-leaning congressional redraw

Maryland panel approves Democratic-leaning congressional redraw

Maryland’s Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission voted privately Tuesday to recommend a new eight-district map that would tilt the state toward Democrats, notably by crossing the Chesapeake Bay to expand the Eastern Shore’s 1st District to include Anne Arundel and Howard counties and linking Ocean City with Columbia. Other districts would shift but remain favorable to Democrats, who currently hold seven of eight seats. The map advances to the General Assembly, where passage is not guaranteed as Senate President Ferguson opposes redistricting and Republicans vow to sue. National Democrats have pressed Maryland to redraw to counter Republican gains elsewhere, and the plan could affect the June primary if adopted.

Arc Raiders' meteoric rise unlocks Embark's bolder future

Arc Raiders has sold 12.4 million copies on Steam, and Embark Studios says the breakthrough gives the studio resources to pursue a bigger, more ambitious roadmap. In an interview with design director Virgil Watkins, Embark teases multiple map updates (refreshes and new maps at different scales) and a stronger focus on evolving gameplay in 2025 and beyond, including a possible expanded NPC trading system in 2026 and discussions about a Speranza hub, all while keeping the game’s core emphasis on exploration and meaningful item use rather than profit grinding.

The Impact of Redistricting on the US House and Congressional Maps

Redistricting ahead of the 2024 US midterms is reshaping the battle for control of the House, with Republican-led states like Texas and Ohio drawing maps favoring their party, while Democrats seek to counteract these changes through initiatives like California's Proposition 50. The process is ongoing in several states, and a Supreme Court decision could further influence the redistricting landscape, impacting the competitiveness of key districts.

Battlefield 6 Faces Criticism Over Maps and Progression

Battlefield 6's launch excitement has waned two weeks after release due to issues with new cosmetics, maps, and game modes, especially the battle royale mode Redsec, which has received negative feedback for its integration and map size. The season one update introduced a battle pass and new skins, but these changes have shifted the game towards a live-service model, causing dissatisfaction among players who preferred the original gameplay focus. Despite ongoing player engagement, the game's future may depend on EA's response to community feedback.
