Save over $600 on LGs dual-mode OLED gaming monitor
SAVE 32%: As of Feb. 20, you can get the LG Ultragear 5K2K OLED Curved Gaming Monitor (45GX950A-B) for $1,350.18, down from $1,999.99, at Amazon. That’s a 32% discount or $649.81 savings.

Save $649.81
Dropping over a grand on a gaming monitor is undeniably a flex, but if you’ve been waiting for a sign to upgrade your battle station, Amazon just knocked a hefty chunk of change off the crown jewel of LG’s OLED lineup.
As of Feb. 20, you can get the LG Ultragear 5K2K OLED Curved Gaming Monitor (45GX950A-B) for $1,350.18, down from $1,999.99, at Amazon. That’s a 32% discount or $649.81 savings.
While $1,350 is still a splurge, this is a pretty good price for an ultra-wide screen of this caliber. The curved display features “Dual-Mode” capability, which essentially serves as two separate monitors. When you want to get lost in a story-driven game, you can run the panel in 5K2K (5120 x 2160) resolution at 165Hz. But if you’re playing a competitive shooter where frames matter more than pixels, a hotkey instantly switches the screen to Wide Full HD and cranks the refresh rate up to 330Hz.
Add in a 0.03ms response time, a DisplayPort 2.1 connection, and the deep blacks OLEDs are famous for, and you have one of the most versatile gaming displays on the market.
How hackers are stealing millions from ATMs, FBI warns
The FBI warned that hackers are successfully stealing millions from ATMs — and the attacks are becoming more frequent.
The FBI warned that the increase in ATM jackpotting — which is exactly what it sounds like — is a result of both physical methods for theft as well as digital malware.
Wrote the FBI in a bulletin:
“Threat actors exploit physical and software vulnerabilities in ATMs and deploy malware to dispense cash without a legitimate transaction. The FBI has observed an increase in ATM jackpotting incidents across the United States. Out of 1,900 ATM jackpotting incidents reported since 2020, over 700 of them with more than $20 million in losses occurred in 2025 alone.”
One form of malware, in particular, allows hackers to gain total control over an ATM, making the jackpotting reliably simple. Thankfully for regular people, the malware called “Ploutus” doesn’t give hackers access to accounts but rather the machine itself.
“Once Ploutus is installed on an ATM, it gives threat actors direct control over the machine, allowing them to trigger cash withdrawals,” wrote the FBI. “Ploutus attacks the ATM itself rather than customer accounts, enabling fast cash-out operations that can occur in minutes and are often difficult to detect until after the money is withdrawn.”
Ploutus takes advantage of software that ATMs use to communicate with financial institutions, TechCrunch noted.
Epstein used major dating apps after sex offender status, files suggest
Deceased billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appeared to have multiple accounts on the dating site Match.com in 2012, years after being convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, files released by the Department of Justice suggest.
In the Epstein files, viewed by Mashable, there are numerous emails from Match.com dated in 2012, linking Epstein’s Gmail and Yahoo addresses to two profiles on the site: “jeeproject” and “sultan175.” Match seemingly emailed the former username “congratulations” for signing up, an alert to resubmit the profile because part of the text was “unintelligible or repetitious,” and offers for a free 72 hours on the app. One account received a “Happy birthday” from Match on the same date as Epstein’s 60th birthday.
Xbox Live, meanwhile, permanently banned Epstein in 2013 for being a registered sex offender.
Additionally, the files contain emails about matches the accounts made, including women in their early 20s, as well as emails of members Match “selected for” the user, including a 20-year-old.
A couple of credit card statements in the Epstein files include Match.com as a payee, from 2007 (prior to his conviction) and again in 2012 (Epstein was convicted in 2008). Other files also suggest that he was on other dating apps (owned by Match and otherwise), and that he may have invested in Match Group, the parent company of popular dating apps Tinder and Hinge.
“I’m not at all surprised based on my previous experiences representing clients,” lawyer Carrie Goldberg told Mashable. “I’m not at all surprised that a convicted sex predator was using Match Group products at all.” Goldberg is representing plaintiffs suing Match Group after a serial rapist, Stephen Matthews, remained on Tinder and Hinge after multiple women reported him.
On whether Match Group had a legal duty to run background checks, Goldberg said, “Match Group has a legal duty to not release unsafe products into the stream of commerce…They’re not allowed to increase the risk of harm to other users. They themselves have voluntarily committed to doing background checks.”
Back in 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. He served less than 13 months and registered as a sex offender. Then, in 2019, Epstein was charged with sex trafficking of minors and later died in his cell. The Department of Justice has released more than 3.5 million files related to his crimes since Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law on Nov. 19, 2025.
Match’s background check rules, then and now
In Match.com’s Terms of Agreement from 2012, it states in bolded font and all caps: “You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members. You understand that Match.com currently does not conduct criminal background checks on its members. Match.com also does not inquire into the backgrounds of all of its members or attempt to verify the statements of its members. Match.com makes no representations or warranties as to the conduct of members or their compatibility with any current or future members.”
It also states, however, that “Match.com reserves the right to conduct any criminal background check or other screenings (such as sex offender register searches), at any time and using available public records.” In 2011, Match announced that it would begin screening users against the national sex offender registry following a lawsuit from a woman who alleged she was assaulted by someone she met on the site.
Match’s current terms are similar to those in 2012, as are those of Match Group brands Tinder and Hinge.
“The activity referenced dates back more than a decade, during a time when safety tools and registry checks were far more limited than they are today.”
A Match spokesperson told Mashable, “The activity referenced dates back more than a decade, during a time when safety tools and registry checks were far more limited than they are today. Since then, the tools available and Match Group’s own Trust and Safety practices have been significantly strengthened through improvements in technology and our continued investment in safety.” Match didn’t respond to Mashable’s question about the “members [it] selected for you” emails.
Last year, Tinder began requiring all new U.S. users to scan their faces when they sign up. However, the company states this is intended to stop scammers and spammers. It’s unclear if Tinder is using this technology to reference a sex offender registry database. (Hinge will soon begin testing the same feature.)
As first reported by the Dallas Morning News, there are emails in the Epstein files from OkCupid as well, dating back to 2011, the year Match acquired it. There are also numerous emails to Epstein from the Jewish dating site JDate, which is owned by Spark Networks.
A spokesperson from JDate told Mashable that as a matter of policy, the company doesn’t comment on or disclose information about individual user accounts. They did review Mashable’s inquiry internally and, “because the materials relates to activity from around 2013 and, in light of our data-retention practices, we are not able to determine whether any related JDate account ever existed or to verify the authenticity or completeness of the documents referenced.”
Epstein’s potential investments
Within the Epstein files, there are also stock portfolio statements from Deutsche Bank from 2015 and 2016 that identify the portfolio as holding Match stock; however, it’s not clear to whom those statements belonged.
There is also an email exchange from 2018 between Epstein and his stock trader, Alpha Group Capital’s Paul Barrett, where Barrett suggested investing in conglomerate IAC, which owned Match Group at the time. (IAC and Match Group separated in 2020.) IAC currently owns many media brands, including The Daily Beast.
“Buy InterActive Corp (IAC) on the back of continued success of Match.com and Tinder,” Barrett wrote in a 2018 email, along with information about Tinder’s growth. Epstein appears to have replied, “OK,” to Barrett’s suggestion.
Several files mention IAC chairman and senior executive Barry Diller, including a text exchange with former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, when Epstein alleges that Diller has been “on the island.” Little St. James, also known as “Epstein Island,” is a private island once owned by Epstein, and that’s where sex crimes are alleged to have occurred.
Diller, who co-founded the Fox Broadcasting Company with Rupert Murdoch, has been in the news in recent weeks after reportedly expressing interest in buying CNN. He’s also been spotlighted by Page Six for his Epstein connection, telling the publication, “I am probably the only one who went to the island to see the architecture rather than the inhabitants.”
“As for the stock, we have no idea. This was never discussed.”
“The relationship was distant,” an IAC spokesperson told Mashable about Diller and Epstein. “As for the stock, we have no idea. This was never discussed.” When asked to clarify who discussed this, the spokesperson responded, “We have no idea and are not aware of any discussions related to the purchase of IAC stock.”
Match Group didn’t respond to Mashable’s inquiry about whether Epstein owned Match stock.
Earlier this month, Mashable dove into tech titans who appear in the Epstein files, including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
The 3 best TV deals to shop this weekend: Save up to 50% on Samsung, LG, Hisense
LG 75-Inch 85A QNED Mini LED 4K TV
(save $703)
Samsung 75-inch Q8F QLED 4K TV
(save $202)
Hisense 75-inch U7 Mini LED ULED 4K TV
(save $1,003)
It may not traditionally be the best time of year to buy a new TV, but rules are made to be broken. If you’re rocking an older TV set that’s lost its vibrancy, you can save a good chunk of change on a few excellent options from some of our favorite TV brands. I’ve rounded up the top three TV deals I could find heading into the weekend, with savings up to 50%. While I focused on 75-inch models specifically, most sizes of each TV are discounted — just click through to the different sizes on the product pages for further pricing details.
Best LG TV deal
Why we like it
This mid-range Mini LED option from LG leans heavily on AI to find the perfect settings to enhance your viewing experience. The Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen2 adjusts HDR and brightness in real time to suit what you’re watching, boosts the dialogue over background noise, and refines the sound to your preferences. There’s even an AI Magic Remote that delivers content recommendations, picture and audio customizations, and an art gallery to transform your TV from a basic black rectangle. As far as gaming goes, it packs a 120Hz native refresh rate and VRR 144Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium, LG’s Game Optimizer, GeForce NOW, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. At under $900, it’s chilling at its best price on record.
Best Samsung TV deal
Why we like it
On the budget-friendly side of Samsung’s vast QLED TV lineup is the Q8F. It pairs a vibrant quantum dot display with a Q4 AI processor to upscale your content and integrated sensors that monitor and auto-adjust sound. Gamers will appreciate its dedicated gaming dashboard that offers a 144Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium VRR, and Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ for buttery smooth performance. Its sleek and slim build is also minimalist’s dream. While not quite its lowest price to date, you’re still getting impressive features for a sub-$900 price tag.
Best Hisense TV deal
Why we like it
The U7 Mini LED is Hisense’s “ultimate mid-premium” model from 2025. Its actual list price is nearly $2,000 (which you can see on Best Buy’s website), which means you’ll save just over 50% by picking up this deal at Amazon. The U7 combines mini LED backlighting with an impressive 165Hz refresh rate, making for a gorgeous, lag-free picture. It also features an AGLR-Antiglare low-reflection panel, up to 3,000 nits of brightness, and HDR10, HDR10+ Adaptive, HLG, Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos. In other words, it looks brilliant no matter the lighting scenario.

There’s just one annoying thing about shopping for a robot vacuum-mop combo: Either you pay close to $1,000 for a self-cleaning base station, or you settle for a cheaper model and manually peel off and wash dirty mop pads every single day. But as Presidents’ Day deals quickly disappear, Amazon‘s been popping in some surprising discounts on vacuums and other home tech.
As of Feb. 20, you can get the eufy Omni C20 robot vacuum-mop for just $349.98 at Amazon, down from $599.99. That’s a 42% discount or $250.01 savings.
The Omni C20 offers 7,000 Pa of suction for vacuuming and features dual rotating mop heads that scrub your hard floors at 180 rotations per minute. Plus, the base station automatically empties the dustbin, washes the mop pads, and dries them for you so you never have to touch the gross stuff. It also features a “Pro-Detangle Comb” that reverses the roller brush to remove tangled hair, and it has an ultra-slim 3.35-inch profile to fit under your low-clearance furniture.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen preorders go live — where to buy now for Nintendo Switch
TL;DR: The Nintendo eShop has dropped preorders for the digital versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for Nintendo Switch — buy now for $19.99.
Pokémon FireRed Version (Nintendo Switch)
Pokémon LeafGreen Version (Nintendo Switch)
The Pokémon franchise’s 30th anniversary, coinciding with the release date of the original Pokémon Red and Green Game Boy titles in Japan, is being celebrated in the best way possible. You can now pre-order digital Nintendo Switch versions of the Game Boy Advance’s Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen games at the Nintendo eShop for $19.99.
For gamers in the UK, both games are available to pre-order for £16.99 at the UK Nintendo eShop.
FireRed and LeafGreen’s Nintendo Switch ports will release on Feb. 27 (Pokémon Day 2026) at 6 a.m. PST, after the Pokémon Company’s Pokémon Presents stream has aired.
By pre-ordering the game, you can have it preloaded onto your console so that it will be ready to play the second Nintendo unlocks it upon release. Instead of being tied to a Nintendo Switch Online membership, paying for these games à la carte means you can have them both permanently as part of your digital library. Both games will also be fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2 consoles.
Exclusively available digitally on the eShop, the Nintendo Switch editions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen will be nearly exactly the same as they were when released on the Game Boy Advance back in 2004 — minus the need for Link Cables or the Game Boy Advance versions’ bundled GBA Wireless Adapter, which you originally needed to trade and battle with other players. You’ll now be able to use the Pokémon Wireless Club for those local multiplayer features instead.
Remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Green Game Boy games (Pokémon Red and Blue in the west) let you relive the original Pokémon adventure with updated Game Boy Advance graphics — journey across Kanto, take on Team Rocket, defeat all eight Gym leaders, and become champion of the Pokémon League.
The Nintendo Switch editions will contain exclusive post-game content on the Sevii Islands: introducing both an additional storyline revealed once you defeat the Pokémon League and plenty of extra Pokémon to collect.
For more Pocket Monster deals, you can also celebrate the 30th anniversary with the Pokémon TCG Pokémon Day 2026 Collection, which is still available for under $40 at Amazon. Meanwhile, you can still save at least $20 on eight Pokémon TCG: Phantasmal Flames booster packs.

$455.88
Save $109.72
Magic: The Gathering’s Avatar The Last Airbender expansion has been a huge hit among collectors, especially for fans chasing premium foil treatments and rare alt-art trading cards. Now, one of the set’s most sought-after products has fallen to its lowest-ever price.
As of Feb. 20, you can grab the Magic: The Gathering Avatar The Last Airbender Collector Booster Box for $346.16 at Amazon, down from its $455.88 list price. That’s more than $100 off a premium product that’s usually reserved for serious collectors or MTG enthusiasts looking to pull the rarest cards in the set. Confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is indeed the lowest price the Collector Booster Box has ever hit.
Each box includes 12 Collector Boosters packed with high-value cards, including at least five rares or mythics per pack alongside multiple traditional foils and exclusive treatments. Collector Boosters are the only packs that may contain certain special foil variants, and even ultra-rare headliner cards, making them a popular choice for players who want standout pulls for displaying in their binders or competitive play.
While these Collector Booster Boxes are still set firmly in the territory of premium pricing, this new discount makes them far closer to what many MTG fans consider a fair market price. In fact, Amazon’s deal not only takes it below the TCGplayer market price of $375.90.
As for more Magic: The Gathering cards from this expansion, you can still get the MTG Avatar The Last Airbender Beginner Box at around $10 off on Amazon. For deals on other MTG crossover expansions, eight-pack lots of Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Play Boosters are also $8 off.

The Phantom Menace Mos Espa Podrace set is a build for adult fans, as its end result is a diorama for display rather than something that can be played with. It comes with 718 pieces in total that create models of Anakin Skywalker’s Podracer and Sebulba’s Podracer tearing through the canyon during the Mos Espa Podrace in The Phantom Menace. It also comes with a Lego Star Wars 25th anniversary brick and a plaque that features a Qui-Gon Jinn quote that you can place on the front.

TL;DR: The Logitech G435 Lightspeed wireless gaming headset has dropped to $39.99 at Amazon, down from $79.99 — marking its best price of the year so far.
Budget-friendly gaming gear doesn’t always come with premium features or performance, but this Logitech peripheral gives you the best of both at 50% off.

As confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel, this is also the best price that the Logitech G435 has seen this year.
The core of what makes the G435 great for its price is the use of Logitech’s Lightspeed USB wireless with low-latency Bluetooth — letting you switch between PC, PlayStation consoles, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices without needing separate headsets. Weighing just 165 grams, noticeably lighter than many over-ear gaming models, this headset should help keep longer sessions comfortable without putting extra strain on your head or neck.
Despite its smaller footprint, the headset still packs in 40mm drivers and compatibility with spatial audio formats like Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic, helping deliver more immersive sound in games like Fortnite and streaming on platforms like Twitch. Built-in dual beamforming microphones also keep voice chat clear without relying on a bulky boom mic.
Battery life also reaches up to 18 hours per charge, so you can move from late-night matches to everyday listening without constantly reaching for a cable.
If you’re willing to spend a bit more on a gaming setup upgrade, the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro is still 50% off at Amazon. To help complete a pure budget-friendly Logitech setup, the G305 wireless gaming mouse is still only $26.99 on Amazon.

How The Pitts cinematographer created the shows unique immersive style
“I always say cinematographers are visual psychologists,” is how Johanna Coelho, The Pitt cinematographer, started off our interview. I was not prepared for my mind to be blown so early in the conversation. I’ve certainly called cinematographers visual storytellers before. But the idea of a “visual psychologist” broke my brain. I needed more of an explanation.
3 things ‘The Pitt’ episode ‘8:00 AM’ gets right about AI in medicine, and 1 big thing it gets wrong
“We have to understand the psychology of the character and really dig into it to understand how to visually create the right atmosphere and pass it through to the audience. I think that’s such a great combination of art and psychology.”
When put that way, it makes perfect sense for the speaker of those words to be the person responsible for the visual aesthetic of one of the most immersive and psychologically devastating shows on television. She went on to discuss why she felt the show needed to feel immersive: “You need to be in the middle of it and actually living the shift yourself as an audience.”
Her first step to achieving that level of immersion was getting the look. “The visual approach of being immersive with them, it just became this full dance choreography. They always wanted the actors to move freely since the beginning. So we needed a system that we never stuck on the ground. We didn’t want to be on dollies or [a] tripod or anything. We actually don’t have tripods. It was decided that the camera will constantly move with the actors.”
When looking for inspiration for that level of immersion and camera movement, she looked to one of the masters, Roger Deakins’ 1917. “1917 was a big inspiration for the show, because you are in the trenches with the soldiers. And you follow them like you’re experiencing it with them. And I was like, the soldiers in the trenches need to be the doctors in the ER. And that’s what it needs to feel like.”
The Pitt Season 2 is now streaming on on HBO Max, with new episodes each Thursday.

The NBA is a unique sport. There’s nothing else in which incredibly tall athletes can be made to look absolutely tiny by aliens who can dunk without leaving the ground. And almost all of these shockingly tall athletes display a skillset that mere mortals can’t even fathom.
The NBA could make a legitimate argument that it hosts the very best athletes in the world. Sure, the NFL might disagree. And rugby definitely attracts some special specimens. But the NBA has a bunch of seven footers dunking on each other. That’s tough to beat.

Stephen Colbert easily mocks Andrew Mountbatten-Windsors arrest photo
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on Thursday in relation to misconduct in a public office, following the latest batch of Epstein files that further detailed his relationship with the convicted sex offender. And the moment was sealed with a paparazzi photo to end all paparazzi photos.
Captured as the former British prince left police custody, the photo has been described by BBC royal correspondent Sean Coughlan quite perfectly: “The shell-shocked, disbelieving, haunted face of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will become part of how his arrest will be remembered.”
Stephen Colbert marked the news on The Late Show during his monologue.
“Yes! Finally, someone, anyone! Let’s hear it for British justice which is better than American justice because it comes with frilly wigs,” he said, then turning to present the photo of Mountbatten-Windsor leaving custody.
“It’s a classic pose known as the ‘Nosferatu.'”

Kindle Scribe 3rd Generation: A much-needed improvement among Amazons e-readers
Another year, another Kindle Scribe. The Scribe is the Amazon Kindle’s largest e-reader and the only one with writing capabilities. Historically, the Kindle Scribe is just OK. Despite its strong writing capabilities, it’s still the slowest Kindle and has some major display problems. But at the end of 2025, the Kindle Scribe got another update, and we’ve changed our mind about it.
The 2025 3rd-generation Kindle Scribe is a notetaker’s dream. If you want a device with fewer distractions than your computer but higher tech than pen and paper, the Kindle Scribe meets you in the middle. It’s designed with students and annotators in mind, but note that it’s a pricey e-reader. For those ready to make the investment, here’s what you need to know about the Kindle Scribe 2025.
Kindle Scribe price and specs

The 2025 Kindle got updates inside and out. Compared to the last model, it’s taller but narrower. Plus, it now has a new front light display. These are the full specs for the 3rd-gen Kindle Scribe:
-
11-inch glare-free display, up to 100 nits brightness, and 300 ppi black and white
-
USB-C charging port with up to 12 weeks of reading battery life and three weeks of writing battery life.
-
32GB or 64GB storage options available
-
Premium pen included
-
Includes Google Drive and Microsoft One integrations
-
Comes in graphite (dark gray)
-
Not waterproof
-
Ad-free
What we still love about the Kindle Scribe
Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable
Despite the pitfalls of the previous Kindle Scribe, I still enjoyed its annotating abilities, and that remains true of the new Kindle Scribe. The matte screen, paired with the included premium pen, makes it a dream to write with. It writes smoothly without being too slick and slippery.
When you underline using the pen, the Scribe straightens it into a more precise line. You can add notes directly on the page or in the margins. Either way, all notes and underlines gather in the same spot, so you can find all of your brilliant thoughts and notes in one place for future reference.
A speedier Scribe has arrived
Now let’s get into all the good stuff: where Amazon improved the latest Kindle Scribe. Previously, the Kindle Scribe was a slow-moving machine, surprising given how speedy the rest of the Kindle lineup is. Amazon seems to have corrected this in the 2025 Scribe, which is zippy and quick-moving. It requires minimal load time and easily swaps between books and notebooks. Even when annotating or writing, the device doesn’t feel slowed down.
Finally, an e-reader with writing but no ghosting
I touched on this in my review of the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, but the most significant improvement in the 2025 Scribe is its lack of ghosting. Ghosting occurs when erased images or images from a previous screen persist after you’ve navigated away from them. This issue isn’t unique to Kindles; many e-readers with writing capabilities suffer from ghosting.
Yet, in its latest iteration, the 2025 Kindle Scribe has virtually no ghosting. It hasn’t totally disappeared (literally). There is some light ghosting that appears when you erase writing. The ghosting is very light, however, and disappears once you refresh the page.
A redesigned home screen makes you realize all you were missing

I’ve never had many complaints about Kindle home screens, until they redesigned the home screen on the Kindle Scribe 2025. The home screen on this model was reorganized to put equal emphasis on the e-book library and the notebooks. The person going for the Scribe is choosing it over, say, the Paperwhite for the Scribe’s note-taking abilities, so putting the notebooks front and center is a better experience for the reader.
Is it better than the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft?

At the same time, the Kindle Scribe received a 2025 update, and Amazon also released the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. The devices are very similar; the primary difference is that one has color and the other doesn’t. So, is one better than the other? Not necessarily. Which one you go for is a matter of prioritizing price or color.
The standard Kindle Scribe is the more affordable option, starting at $499.99. However, when you annotate, you can only do so in black and white. This might be a deal-breaker if you’re a prolific notetaker who wants to organize your notes by color.
If color is a non-negotiable, then you’ll need to pick the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. It’s the best e-reader with both color and writing capabilities, but be wary that it will cost you. The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft starts at $629.99.
Is the 2025 Kindle Scribe worth it?

Despite its still-high price tag, the 2025 Kindle Scribe is worth buying. It lives up to the Kindle expectations of speedy devices. With its improved processing and reorganized home screen, it’s a well-designed e-reader, especially for students looking to use the Kindle Scribe to take notes.
Our biggest hang-up on the Kindle Scribe is still its price. At $499.99, it’s not as affordable as the Kobo Libra, but it offers a larger screen, faster processing, and virtually no ghosting.
Scientists used the Webb telescope to make a video of Uranus auroras
Scientists have mapped the upper atmosphere of Uranus in detail, revealing a cooler, thinner, and more unevenly charged layer around the planet than expected.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a joint observatory of NASA and its European and Canadian counterparts, researchers watched Uranus make nearly a full spin in space, capturing faint glows from molecules high above the clouds. The study resulted in an unprecedented timelapse video of nearly one full Uranian day, which can be watched further down in this story.
The infrared observations show that Uranus’ upper atmosphere, also known as its ionosphere, is not uniform. The research, which appears in the Geophysical Research Letters journal, centers on where the ice giant’s auroras form and how the planet’s oddly tilted magnetic field shapes them.
“This is the first time we’ve been able to see Uranus’ upper atmosphere in three dimensions,” said Paola Tiranti, lead author of the study from Northumbria University in the United Kingdom, in a statement. “With Webb’s sensitivity, we can trace how energy moves upward through the planet’s atmosphere and even see the influence of its lopsided magnetic field.”
Despite having the potential to shed light on how distant giant exoplanets interact with their space environment, Uranus’ charged upper layer is among the least understood in the solar system. Prior to the study, scientists relied heavily on indirect estimates.
The team tracked a faint infrared glow from a charged molecule called trihydrogen cation, which forms high above the planet where sunlight and space particles interact with the atmosphere. Because that glow changes with temperature and particle density, it lets scientists essentially scan the structure of Uranus’ ionosphere.
The data indicated the atmosphere is weaker than scientists had previously thought. It also confirmed that the upper atmosphere is relatively cool and seems to be continuing to drop in temperature. That’s a trend scientists have noticed over the past 30 years.
Because Uranus spins sideways, it has the most extreme seasons in the solar system. Its poles take turns facing the sun for 21 years straight, leaving the other half in a dark, two-decade winter.
“Uranus’ magnetosphere is one of the strangest in the Solar System,” said Tiranti, referring to the magnetic shield around the planet. “It’s tilted and offset from the planet’s rotation axis, which means its auroras sweep across the surface in complex ways.”
Researchers detected bright and dim auroral bands linked to the planet’s unusual magnetic field. Two bright ones glow near the poles, having similar patterns to those seen at Jupiter. The odd geometry of the layer likely channels energy unevenly into the atmosphere, creating patches with more or less charged activity, according to the study.
Before Webb looked at Uranus for the first time in 2023, most people’s notion of the seventh planet was not much more than a featureless blue ball, doing its own thing about 2 billion miles from Earth. That changed after the telescope revealed the planet’s strange vertical rings, bevy of moons, storms, and a polar cap.
With similar planets common around other stars, the researchers hope knowing how energy, temperature, and charged particles behave around Uranus will give scientists a real-world benchmark for interpreting those distant worlds.
