Visualized: Space hurricane! NASA’s Cassini records super cyclone on Saturn (video)

Visualized Space hurricane! NASA's Cassini records super cyclone on Saturn video

Fast payday loans For Every One

If the crashing sound of lightning striking Saturn wasn’t enough to excite your inner-meteorologist, then perhaps footage of a raging extraterrestrial hurricane will win you over. After orbiting the ringed planet for nine years, NASA’s Cassini probe has managed to snag video of a super storm on the celestial body’s north pole. Cloaked by the darkness of winter, the hurricane’s eye became visible as Saturn’s northern hemisphere transitioned into spring. Unlike the tropical cyclones of Earth (see: Hurricane Katrina, Sandy and Irene), this furious typhoon has been spinning for several years and has winds that flow at speeds exceeding 300MPH. Further differentiating itself from our world’s whirlwinds, this alien cyclone is locked to its planet’s north pole and is fueled by small amounts of water vapor instead of an actual ocean. Completely in a category of its own, the hurricane’s eye measures about 1,250 miles wide and is surrounded by fluffy white clouds the size of Texas. To see this Saturnian fury in all its glory, check out the video after the break and feel free to leave your gratuitous hurricane names in the comments below.

Visualized: Boeing supersonic airliner concept soars in a wind tunnel, quietly

Visualized Boeing's supersonic airliner design carves wind tunnel air, quietly

No, you’re not looking at an early preview of Star Wars Episode VII — it just might represent the future of air transport, though. Boeing has spent years developing a truly quiet supersonic airliner concept, the Icon II, and what you see is an aerodynamics test of a mockup in a vaguely Death Star-like wind tunnel at NASA’s Glenn Research Center. The starfighter design is for more than just show, as you’d suspect. Its V-tail design moves sonic booms further back, reducing the chance that shockwaves will reach the ground (and our ears) intact, while the top-mounted engines isolate engine noise. Boeing and NASA are ultimately hoping for production passenger aircraft discreet enough to fly over land at supersonic speeds, although we can’t help but think that the sci-fi look is a convenient bonus.

Visualized Unreal Engine 4 'Infiltrator' demo gives an impressive peek at nextgen gaming

Simply in case you missed it last evening buried in our meeting with Impressive Games VP Mark Rein, the business revealed off a brand-new real-time trial at GDC 2013 this week, labelled “Infiltrator.” The nearly four-minute clip, showcases a sci-fi shootout created with its Unreal Engine 4, and incredibly powered by a solitary GeForce GTX 680. Now that we have actually piqued your curiosity a bit, look into this beautiful display of advanced espionage after the break, plus a bonus clip of the “Elemental” UE4 demo operating on a PlayStation 4 dev kit in real-time.

Visualized: JetBlue and ViaSat test Fly-Fi in-flight WiFi… from the ground

Visualized JetBlue and ViaSat test FlyFi inflight WiFi from the ground

Gogo’s ground-to-air transmitters typically mandate evaluating service while jetting around the country above 10,000 feet. Sure, you don’t need to waste fuel flying around an empty airliner, but even the company’s small jet can burn through quite a bit of cash. ViaSat, on the other hand, can do much of its service testing on the ground, using that fairly ordinary Ford van pictured just above. The reason, of course, relates to the location of the company’s transmitter — namely, the ViaSat-1 satellite, positioned some 22,000 miles above the ground. In the air, planes will actually be nearer to the orbiting device, rather than farther away, and assuming a line-of-sight link from the road, the truck can work out kinks at a fraction of the cost.

That white dome atop the van, which is similar to the device that’ll soon be mounted on JetBlue’s fleet, maintains a constant connection by rotating instantly as the van moves — if the vehicle’s heading changes, the antenna array will turn, too, so it’s always pointed directly at the sat in the sky. You may have seen ViaSat’s van driving down Southern California’s freeways, but the rig has just arrived in Orlando, for some additional testing a few degrees away from the company’s Carlsbad home. Assuming all goes well here, you’ll be shooting around the web courtesy of Fly-Fi in no time at all.

Visualized Microsoft's 120inch homegrown television

Samsung’s $ 40k work of art has nothing on Redmond’s non-existent TV division: Microsoft has built a 120-inch 4K display. Don’t start pinching pennies, though — this TV was created strictly for demo purposes, and won’t be coming coming to stores any time soon. Check out Pocket-lint for all the details.

Visualized: Engadget Expand’s pier of arcade

Visualized Engadget Expand's pier of arcade

There are very few things on this Earth that can make a view of the San Francisco Bay even more gorgeous than it already is, and a pier with 67 arcade games lined up side-by-side certainly qualifies as one of them. This stockpile of amusement will soon be making its way into our exhibit hall at Fort Mason for the Engadget Expand afterparty, and we captured this glorious vista fresh off the delivery truck. The usual suspects are here: NBA Jam, Street Fighter, Tetris, Tron, Pac-man, Qbert and even Donkey Kong, along with a litany of other classics. Take a quick break this evening and have yourself a good long look at our gallery of goodies below, as well as a video showing the setup in all its glory.
