Along with seeing parts of the moon that human eyes have never seen before, NASA’s Artemis II crew has continued to send stunning pictures of Earth back to Earth. Considered one of their photography goals was to recreate the famous Earthrise photo from Apollo 8, the primary manned mission to fly across the moon back in 1968. The result’s somewhat different than the previous photo, but no less stunning. It isn’t possible to inform from a still photo, but this one was actually taken because the Earth was “setting” behind the moon relatively than rising above it, not less than from…

The opening credits of “Magnum P.I.” featured Tom Selleck peeling out in a Ferrari 308 GTS. It’s probably one among the photographs that made many non-car people aware of Ferrari within the Nineteen Eighties (“Miami Vice” being the opposite). It isn’t day by day you get the possibility to own a automobile this famous, but Barrett-Jackson is putting Magnum’s automobile up for auction. Technically, it belonged to the unseen show character Robin Masters, voiced by the legendary Orson Wells, but he gave Thomas Magnum free reign to drive it like a maniac on his private investigator side gigs for reasons…

Certainly one of the predominant reasons to purchase a brand new automobile is knowing that parts will probably be available if a repair is required. And while that is normally the case, John Rice’s 2024 Chevy Silverado ZR2 has develop into a notable exception, reports WGME.

The truck went off to J&T Autobody in Fryeburg, Maine, which expected it to be fixed in about ten days. While tearing…
Joe Raedle/Getty Images Exhaust fumes may smell bad, however the part you possibly can’t smell could turn into deadly. Aubrie Morgan was parked in a Royal Oak, Michigan parking garage near the restaurant where she worked and the cosmetology school she attended, reports FOX 2. She fell asleep inside her running automobile, and sadly never woke up. Police determined that Morgan had suffered carbon monoxide poisoning from a cracked exhaust manifold as she sat in her automobile.

The automotive got sideswiped within the…
Last 12 months, Texas banned temporary paper tags in an effort to thwart counterfeit license plates. Unfortunately that effort has proven lower than successful, as counterfeiters have simply began making fake metal plates as an alternative, reports Fox 7 Austin. Apparently, it’s just as easy to print a sticker as an alternative of a bit of paper, then apply it to a bit of sheet metal, and even the back of a stolen license plate. Who knew? The Texas Auto Dealer’s Association did. Over a 12 months ago, while the paper tag ban was still into consideration, it even testified before the…
Justin Hughes/Jalopnik Because the dawn of time, it seems, Tesla has remained steadfast in its decision to not support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That could be about to vary, as Bloomberg reports that Tesla is now actively developing Apple CarPlay support. The identical can’t be said for Android Auto, as Tesla is barely working on CarPlay right now. In response to Bloomberg’s unnamed “individuals with knowledge of the matter,” Tesla’s implementation of CarPlay would run in its own window inside Tesla’s broader interface, slightly than replacing the complete system because it does on many vehicles. This is sensible, as Tesla’s operating system…
A Kentucky resident received an unexpected visitor when an airplane crashed into the side of her home, reports KFVS 12. Luckily nobody appears to have been hurt within the crash; the girl contained in the house was advantageous, as was the pilot, who was the one person on board the aircraft. Many plane crashes are total disasters, even with small planes, but sometimes people escape relatively unharmed. Details are fuzzy right now because the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are still investigating what caused this crash, however the Graves County Sheriff’s Office has this to say: Preliminary reports indicate that…
