A poignant critique of animal testing in the form of an occasionally funny but overall heartbreaking short for the Humane Society of The United States.
The ‘mockumentary’ features a day in the life of upbeat but ailing product-testing rabbit Ralph (voiced by Taika Waititi) as explained to an interviewer (voiced by Ricky Gervais).
Behold: four of Saturn’s 82 true moons. Four you say? That’s right, four. To wit:
First — and farthest in the background — is Titan, the largest moon of Saturn and one of the larger moons in the Solar System. The dark feature across the top of this perpetually cloudy world is the north polar hood. The next most obvious moon is bright Dione, visible in the foreground, complete with craters and long ice cliffs. Jutting in from the left are several of Saturn’s expansive rings, including Saturn’s A ring featuring the dark Encke Gap. On the far right, just outside the rings, is Pandora, a moon only 80-kilometres across that helps shepherd Saturn’s F ring. The fourth moon? If you look closely inside Saturn’s rings, in the Encke Gap, you will find a speck that is actually Pan. Although one of Saturn’s smallest moons at 35-kilometres across, Pan is massive enough to help keep the Encke gap relatively free of ring particles. After more than a decade of exploration and discovery, the Cassini spacecraft ran low on fuel in 2017 and was directed to enter Saturn’s atmosphere, where it surely melted.

A sample of the teeny-tiny delights on offer at the Journey To The Microcosmos channel – in this case a fascinating chapter called “Microbes Don’t Actually Look Like Anything’ wherein we learn that light and microscopy create visions of teeny-tiny life that don’t actually look like that in teeny-tiny reality.
Hey, it’s no biggie.

Second from bottom.
That’s you, that is.
Behold: the 2024 GMC Hummer EV – a monstrous SUV with an 830bhp tri-motor Ultium Drive system capable of 0-100km’h in 3.5 seconds.
Should see you safely down to Centra, so.
With a 480km range, 40cm of ground clearance, the ability to ‘crab walk’ via independent 4-wheel steering and climb 60-percent gradients, the e-Hummer has a slew of data and navigation systems including smartphone digital key starting, 35cm ‘infotainment’ screen, satellite-rendered trail mapping, one pedal driving and 200+ optional accessories.
Prices start around $79,995 (€67,400) (if you live in the US) and go up.
Behold: the Ferrari 250 Europa GT – with bodywork by Pinin Farina and a 3.0L Colombo V12 engine, it was the first Ferrari to wear the GT moniker and a rare beast indeed as only 43 were made between 1954 and 1955.
This unmodified, unrestored ‘barn find’ was originally built for Dr. Enrico Wax, the official Italian distributor of Moët & Chandon. Later sold to an American collector, it has languished in a private collection since the mid 60s and will come to auction next month.
