It’s been over a year since Volkswagen was caught cheating on emissions tests with its 2.0-liter diesel cars, and over four months since the U.S. Justice Department revealed VW’s $14.7 billion settlement—a settlement that has just now been granted final approval by the court.

Add this to the long list of celestial End Times portents to keep you up at night: Saturn’s north polar hexagon, a six-sided vortex of unknown origin that could easily swallow our entire planet, has changed color. It was blue when the Cassini spacecraft imaged it in 2012, and now, it’s bright gold.
The first car ride I ever took was in a 1990 Plymouth Voyager just like the blue one you see in the picture above. And now, 25 years later, I find myself drooling over the things, which is just not normal for a guy my age.

Halloween can be a hectic time what with getting a costume ready, buying candy, and then re-buying candy because you ate it all before the 31st. But you can save yourself quite a bit of time when it comes to carving a pumpkin if you can get your hands on a hundred thousand dollar waterjet machine.
Researchers with the ExoMars mission are pointing to a potential computing glitch as the cause of last week’s crash of the Schiaparelli lander.
