Our Nearest Star
The Sun is a massive, luminous ball of gas with a diameter of approximately 1.39 million kilometers (864,938 miles), primarily composed of hydrogen (about 74% of its mass) and helium (about 24% of its mass), with trace amounts of other elements. It is the closest star to Earth and is the center of our solar system. The Sun's energy is produced through a process called nuclear fusion, in which hydrogen atoms combine to form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. The Sun's energy sustains life on Earth, providing light and heat that drive weather patterns, photosynthesis, and other essential processes. The Sun's magnetic field also plays a crucial role in protecting Earth from harmful cosmic radiation.

How Designers Engineer Luck Into Video Games
On Sept. 16, 2007, a Japanese YouTuber who goes by the handle “Computing Aesthetic” uploaded a forty-eight-second-long video with the deafening title, “ULTRA MEGA SUPER LUCKY SHOT.” The video shows a high-scoring shot in Peggle, a vastly popular video game, loosely based on Japanese pachinko machines, in which a ball bearing clatters down the screen, accruing points as it bounces through a crowd of candy-colored pegs, which disappear shortly after being touched; more bounces, more points. Although Peggle involves some skill—before firing the ball, the player must carefully aim the launcher that dangles at the top of the screen—you are principally at the mercy of the luck of the bounce. In Computing Aesthetic’s footage, the points pile up as the ball bounces fortuitously between pegs. To underscore the seemingly miraculous shot, Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” blares euphorically until, in the video’s final moments, the ball bearing sinks into the bucket at the base of the screen and the words “FEVER SCORE” flash onscreen. The description on the video, which has been watched nearly a quarter of a million times, reads, “I couldn’t balieve this when it happened!!!!!!!!!”

Why the future of restaurants runs through the grocery store
It’s Friday night and, judging from the dejected slump of a quartet of would-be diners outside of the legendary Una Pizza Napoletana on the Lower East Side, there are no tables to be had. Around the corner, a similar scene plays out at Nom Wah, the century-old dim sum restaurant on the bend of a crooked street in Chinatown. A few blocks north, at the Momofuku Noodle Bar, the hungry gaze at the eating through a plate glass window. Everything everywhere is booked all at once.
