 Pixar announces new Finding Nemo short film, Loving Dory  Pixar is returning to the “Finding Nemo” universe with a new short film titled “Loving Dory,” continuing the franchise after its two films grossed roughly $2 billion worldwide. The short was announced at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, where Pixar also revealed plot details and screened early footage. Produced by Mary Alice Drumm and directed by Lou Hamou-Lhadj, the story follows Dory as she takes Nemo to school. On her way back, she becomes trapped in a sea anemone and is rescued by what she believes is a jellyfish, which is actually a plastic bag containing a discarded sunscreen tube. Dory then forms an unexpected friendship with the object, with the footage showing a series of whimsical, emotional moments between the pair. The animation reportedly features a dreamy visual style with layered lighting, underwater particles, and soft depth effects, drawing comparisons to earlier Pixar experimental wor...

NASA LAUNCHES URGENT ROBOTIC MISSION TO SAVE SWIFT OBSERVATORY FROM FALLING OUT OF ORBIT. (PHOTO)


 NASA launches urgent robotic mission to save Swift Observatory from falling out of orbit

 NASA is racing to save its aging Swift Observatory from falling out of orbit by sending up a robotic spacecraft designed to boost it to a safer altitude and extend its mission in space. The $30 million rescue effort could begin as early as this week with the launch of a Pegasus rocket carrying a small, airplane-deployed booster from the Marshall Islands, followed by a rendezvous with a newly built robotic craft developed by Katalyst Space Technologies.

Swift, which has been operating since 2004 to detect powerful cosmic events like gamma-ray bursts, is losing altitude due to increased solar activity. Without intervention, it is expected to drop below a critical threshold in the coming months, where reentry would become unavoidable.

The rescue vehicle, named Link, is a compact autonomous spacecraft equipped with three robotic arms designed to grab and reposition satellites. After launch, it will spend about a month catching up to Swift, then gradually raise its orbit over several more weeks from roughly 224 miles to about 373 miles above Earth.

NASA has already paused Swift’s scientific operations to slow its descent, but officials say the telescope still risks being lost if no action is taken. If successful, the mission could restore operations by late summer and preserve a spacecraft widely viewed as essential for tracking fast, unpredictable cosmic events.

The project is also being watched as a test case for a broader future in orbital servicing, where robotic spacecraft could repair, refuel, and extend the life of satellites that were never originally designed for maintenance. NASA officials say the same technology could eventually be used to boost the aging Hubble Space Telescope as well.
