Can a 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Be a $26.9K Exotic Bargain?

A Craigslist listing in Santa Cruz asks $26,900 for a 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster with 63,000 miles, a 4.7L V8 producing 420 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque, dry-sump oiling, and a rear transaxle paired to a six-speed Sportshift; described as in excellent condition with new brakes, fresh tires, a clean title, and emissions tested. The piece notes its “Baby Aston” pedigree, compares the price to contemporaries like a Porsche 911, and poses whether this nearly exotic is a worthy bargain or likely to depreciate further.

Unveiling the Physics of Exotic Supernovae through Groundbreaking 3D Simulations

Scientists have created the world's first high-resolution 3D simulations of exotic supernovae, revealing the turbulent structures generated during the explosion and their impact on the brightness and appearance of the supernova. These simulations provide deeper insights into the physical processes of peculiar supernova explosions, explaining the observed phenomena and characteristics of these extraordinary events. The simulations show that intermittent eruptions in massive stars can exhibit characteristics similar to multiple dimmer supernovae, and the collision of materials from different eruption periods can explain the phenomenon of superluminous supernovae. This research advances our understanding of the final stages of massive stars and their explosion mechanisms.

"Mastering Destiny 2's Best Exotic Armor and Weapon Rolls"

A bug in Destiny 2's Iron Banner mode allowed players to win or lose matches within seconds using the Khepri's Horn exotic. Despite Bungie disabling the exotic in all activities, it continued to work for players who were already wearing it. The bug was eventually fixed by changing the Iron Banner mode from Control to Eruption. Players who took advantage of the bug were able to farm full Iron Banner resets on wins or losses, but rewards will not be taken away.
