Flashing ‘X’ sign removed from Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco
A brightly flashing “X” sign has been removed from the San Francisco headquarters of the company formerly known as Twitter, days after it was installed. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection said Monday it received 24 complaints about the unpermitted structure over the weekend. It was first erected on Friday 28 July. “As you can see, they took down the X,” social media user @darren_stallcup wrote, sharing a video of the building which no longer features the sign. Elon Musk’s company also removed the Twitter wording and iconic blue bird logo from the building last week.

There are four people in this optical illusion and it’s creeping everyone out
The internet does love a good optical illusion. A photo has gone viral on social media because people cannot see the fourth person in the picture. The debate started when @JenMsft tweeted the image of four bottles being clinked on what looks to be a group hike. But only three arms are immediately visible. She commented: “My brain refuses to believe there are 4 people in this photo.” Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter For those struggling to see them all, the “missing” fourth arm appears to be camouflaged as the bottle holder’s jacket matches the rocky path the group are standing on. User @JenMsft said the photo was first shared in a Reddit thread on confusing perspectives. People have previously looked into other optical illusions such as a hand swap trick, disappearing patterns and classic dual perception images. Social media users reacted to the latest confusing picture to go viral. Someone handily zoomed-in on the photo to highlight the illusion. Others shared their favourite optical illusions.

NASA set to compete against Netflix with its own streaming service
NASA is turning its attention from the stars to our screens, after it announced it will launch its own streaming service. The organisation announced that it is launching a beta for a streaming platform with the name NASA+ – and yes, the plus is shaped to look like a star. It looks like the streaming service will be ad-free and available to watch on the new beta site and the NASA app. Essentially, it’ll work a little like Netflix for space content, updating the current Nasa TV output which features livestreams of rocket launches and other events. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter There’s not much information out there about the new platform but it’ll come “later this year” and NASA has stated that it won’t require a paid subscription. NASA communications administrator Marc Etkind said in the press release that the organisation has designed the platform around “putting space on demand at your fingertips”. Introducing NASA's On-Demand Streaming Service, NASA+ (Official Trailer) www.youtube.com Judging by the look of the new promo clip, it’ll feature a lot of educational videos and public content as well as documentaries. “Modernizing our main websites from a technology standpoint and streamlining how the public engages with our content online are critical first steps in making our agency’s information more accessible, discoverable, and secure,” said NASA chief information officer Jeff Seaton. Meanwhile, it comes after Nasa celebrated the first birthday of the James Webb Space Telescope this summer by releasing extraordinary images of stars 'being born'. In the images, which almost look surreal, rainbow bursts with tiny twinkles can be seen. "The darkest areas are the densest, where thick dust cocoons still-forming protostars", the space giants say. These occur when a star first bursts through its natal envelope of cosmic dust, shooting out a pair of opposing jets into space like a newborn first stretching her arms out into the world." Nasa also recently stated that it discovered “diverse organic matter” on the surface of Mars, which could change our understanding of the red planet and the search for life in the universe.
