South Korean software engineer Jung Ki-young said Microsoft Corp’s decision to discontinue Internet Explorer marked the end of a quarter-century love-hate relationship with the technology. In memory of Explorer’s demise, he spent a month and 430,000 won ($330) designing and ordering a headstone with the “e” logo and its English epitaph: “He was a reliable tool for downloading other browsers.” As soon as his brother’s cafe in Gyeongju put the memorial on display, a photo of the tombstone became viral. After 27 years, Microsoft has decided to phase out support for the once omnipresent Internet Explorer in favor of the…

First observations of a new type of proton aurora around Mars have been made by the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM), the first interplanetary exploration by an Arab nation. The spatially variable proton aurora may provide new insight into the Martian atmosphere’s unexpected behavior. In order to fully characterize these observations, the EMM team worked with NASA’s MAVEN mission (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution). EMM’s global aurora images combined with MAVEN’s local plasma observations open up new avenues for understanding Mars’ enigmatic aurora. When the solar wind directly impacts Mars’ dayside upper atmosphere, it emits ultraviolet light as it slows down,…
