Space isn’t empty. The next-gen James Webb Space Telescope has to sweat the small stuff: dust-sized particles that can impact their shiny golden mirrors. On Tuesday NASA shared a new plan aimed at protecting Webb from damage by these micrometeoroids.

Webb’s designers knew the telescope was going to get hit, so the observatory was engineered to hold up under strikes. However, the telescope got smacked in May by an “unavoidable” micrometeoroid that was larger than expected. Webb is still operating just fine despite the injury, but the dust strike prompted NASA to think through ways to mitigate future damage.

“We have experienced 14 measurable micrometeoroid hits on our primary mirror, and are averaging one to two per month, as anticipated,” Webb lead mission systems engineer Mike Menzel said in a statement. “The resulting optical errors from all but one of these were well within what we had budgeted and expected when building the observatory.”

NASA pulled together a group of optics and micrometeoroid experts to analyze the concerning impact. The group decided it was “a rare statistical event.” So basically JWST was unlucky. To reduce the danger from similar hits in the future, Webb will aim to face away from areas designated as “micrometeoroid avoidance zones.”

The zones are areas where micrometeoroids would be more likely to strike the telescope’s mirrors head on at a high velocity. “This does not mean that these areas of the

A Call of Duty player who said he was “wrongfully banned” from playing CoD game Modern Warfare 2 took his grievances directly to publisher Activision by visiting its Austin, Texas, office on Monday, as reported the following day by PC Gamer. He was reportedly turned away by security personnel and relayed his story in a now-deleted post on the r/activision subredditsaying he simply wanted to speak to someone face-to-face since he wasn’t having any luck over the phone.

Activision didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Various game developers, however, have reportedly criticized the player’s move, saying they worry about disgruntled gamers showing up at their offices in person. But the player’s post also brought to light an issue some Modern Warfare 2 players say they’re facing.

A look at the r/activision subreddit shows players looking for reasons why they’ve been banned from Modern Warfare 2, primarily those who play the game on PC. Some say they were banned for playing the single-player campaignothers say they were banned after playing the game’s beta back in Septemberand others say they’ve been penalized for having hardware-related software on their computer.

There are also threads from individuals who say they’ve tried to appeal their ban only to have the appeal automatically denied. Others who say they were unbanned found themselves banned again not long after.

Ben Simpson-Vernon, a veterinarian in England, went viral recently with two TikToks. The first listed the five dog breeds he’d never choose (sorry, pugs), and the second listed five dog breeds he would pick. (Yay for mutts!) So of course he had to eventually turn to our feline friends.

Simpson-Vernon’s newest video explains the four cat breeds that he, as a veterinarian, would never choose. Three are due to health reasons, but one is pure personal preference. He also emphasized that these are breeds he would never buy, because he would consider giving homes to these cats if they were in a rescue situation where they needed to be adopted.

Read on.

@ben.the.vet And now its the cats’ turn! 4 breeds I wouldn’t buy as a vet #learnontiktok#catlovers#miaow#veterinary#benthevet♬ Waiting For Heartache – BLVKSHP

Bengal cats

Simpson-Vernon praises the Bengal cat’s beautiful coat, but points out that it’s a hybrid between a domestic cat and a type of wild cat called an Asian leopard cat.

“So they’re still quite wild in terms of their behavior and temperament,” he says, noting that at the vet’s, this breed has earned a reputation for being “quite aggressive.” He also notes that this intelligent breed needs a lot of stimulation, and isn’t right for some families.

Sphynx cats

The Sphynx is a hairless cat, and certainly one of the most unusual in the feline family. And here’s where Simpson-Vernon steps out of being a vet, and just becomes

Mobileye, Intel’s self-driving car unit, has priced its IPO at $21 a share, a dollar above its target range, the company said in a press release Tuesday.

Mobileye raised $861 million on the sale of 41 million shares. The company had previously offered guidance that the IPO could be priced at between $18 and $20 per share.

Mobileye has been testing its autonomous vehicles in cities around the world to one of their ability to handle a variety of factors, such as weather conditions, urban layout, traffic signals and driving styles. Its existing advanced driver-assistance system cameras are built into models from Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota and others.

The IPO values ​​Mobileye at about $17 billion, far below the $50 billion valuation that Intel initially expected. The lower valuation reflects the turmoil the IPO market has experienced this year, creating what’s considered the worst IPO drought in 20 years.

Rising inflation and interest rates, combined with recession fears, have pushed investors to safer alternatives. US IPOs have raised a little over $7 billion so far this year, according to data from Dealogic.

Intel, which acquired Mobileye in 2017 for $15.3 billion, announced its plans to take the subsidiary public in September but reportedly plans to keep a majority stake in the company after the IPO. Mobileye sold only a 5% to 6% of shares that will ultimately be outstanding, The Wall Street Journal reported, far less than the typical 10% to 20% for most IPOs.
