Parade of Planets on June 3: Where and How to Watch
View quick summary
Planetary parade or planetary alignment refers to the phenomenon of two or more planets lining up to be visible to the naked eye distinctly. The next one slated to occur on June 3, during predawn hours, in the eastern sky across the Northern Hemisphere. If you're in New York, you will get a much clearer view of it in between 5 AM to 5:26 AM PT. What makes this particular planetary parade special is that you get to see a whopping six planets line up - Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune, and Saturn. You will need to use high-powered binoculars or a telescope to view most of the planets. Mars and Saturn should be the most visible to the naked eye, alongside Neptune appearing like a star and Uranus appearing dim. However, this is not the only day you will get to see the phenomenon. Future dates for six-planet alignments include August 28, 2024 and January 18, 2025. You should particularly be on the lookout for the February 28, 2025 event where seven planets are set to line up!

I Switched to the New Nothing Ear for a Week and Here’s What I Think
View quick summary
I used the Nothing Ear as my daily earbuds, and there are a couple of things that I noticed. For starters, the ANC is solid, while the Transparency Mode could use some work. The sound quality is amazing though, especially after you tune it on the Nothing X app's Advanced EQ. The fit is exceptional and they never fall out of your ears. All things considered, these are definitely the best earbuds you can grab for Rs 11,999.

Telegram Gets Official Microsoft Copilot Bot, Here’s How to Use It
View quick summary
Telegram has received a new Copilot bot to butt heads with the likes of WhatsApp's Meta AI. To use it, simply head over to the official Microsoft Copilot bot for Telegram page and add it to the messaging platform. Once added, you will need to share your phone number for it to work.

Google Pixel 8a Review: Premium Price, Subpar Performance
View quick summary
Getting the Google Pixel 8a for Rs 52,999 does not make sense, especially, since you already have phones like the iQOO 12 and OnePlus 12R that bring you more for less. Besides, if you're looking to buy a compact phone specifically, there's the Samsung Galaxy S23's 8GB/256GB variant which costs about the same and brings more storage than the 8a's base model. The poor thermal management and incorrigible front design of the phone make it a hard phone to recommend. My suggestion? Wait for the price to drop in the coming months if you're that hellbent towards getting it.
