NASA's Parker Probe will launch this summer and makes many firsts in space exploration. Over the course of seven years, it will orbit Venus, eventually becoming the fastest man-made object as it passes through the sun's corona, then becoming the closest man-made object to our nearest star. The Parker Probe's heat shields will disintegrate as it moves through the corona, and its instruments will operate at room temperature as it tries to solve the mystery behind why the corona is hotter than the surface of the sun. The data is years away, but the Park Probe is poised to help us better understand the life-giving body so close to home.

Using Google's Auto ML Vision service, the arm takes a photo of the page and identifies Waldo once a 95% or better match is found. So much for getting lost in the crowd.

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Parfum

This smooth and seductive ultra-male oriental fougère captivates both men and women alike. Inspired by the vibrant revival of Lafayette Street — a historic thoroughfare weaving through iconic New York neighborhoods like Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown—the fragrance embodies the energy of its surroundings. It opens with fresh bergamot, coriander, and floral notes, transitions to a heart of velvety ambroxan and rich vanilla, and finishes with lingering dry wood, tonka bean, cedarwood, and warm grey amber. Encased in a sleek, leather-textured bottle, Lafayette Street is a celebration of modern masculinity and a tribute to Bond No. 9's roots.
