This #timelapse captures a whole night in the life of the volcano Villarrica in Chile. Photographer Cristián Aguirre spent around 10 hours recording the active volcano until dawn arrived.

🎥: Cristián Aguirre
Then he compressed 10 hours into a 20 second video that allows us to appreciate the light transitions, the movement of the clouds, a mesmerizing starry night backdrop, and a beautiful lava show.

The volcano’s name in Mapuche is Ruka Pillañ, which translates to great spirit’s house.

For 17 years, Brood X cicadas hunkered down in subterranean exile. This week, across 15 eastern states, billions of them began to emerge. @eniiler got up close to thousands of cicadas hatching so you don’t have to 1/ wired.trib.al/N6rXKUX
After crawling out of their holes, the cicadas wait as their bodies grow stronger and harden into the mini-Hulks of the insect world. Within a few hours, their bodies darken, their eyes turn red, they develop a set of powerful wings and a desire to mate 2/
This is what they look like immediately after emerging from their exoskeleton. You’re watching their first steps as an "adult" insect after spending almost two decades as a nymph underground 3/

On the web, 36-year old David Wilson pretended to be a 13-year old girl. Using Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram accounts, Wilson used stolen images of young girls to befriend other children online. And once he did, the abuse would begin.
wired.trib.al/ZvYuGqT Via @WiredUK 1/ Image
Wilson would send sexual images of young women and demand his victims, all of them younger than 15 years of age, send him photos and videos of themselves in return. 2/
Soon, Wilson turned to blackmail–forcing the children to performing more extreme sexual acts. In some cases, he forced his victims to abuse their younger brothers and sisters, some of whom were as young as four years old. 3/

In 2011, RSA was hacked: the worst breach of a security firm to that date. The hack, carried out by Chinese spies, pulled the rug out from under the world’s model of security. For 10 years, RSA execs have been bound to silence by NDAs—which just expired 1/ wired.trib.al/ffxPoam
The intruders were able to steal the “seeds” underpinning RSA’s SecurID tokens: fobs that let you prove your identity by entering the six-digit codes that update on their screens. The hack erased a critical safeguard protecting 40 million accounts worldwide 2/
RSA’s customers included government agencies, defense contractors, and corporations across the globe.

The new accounts capture the experience of being targeted by sophisticated state hackers who meticulously take on high-value networked targets on a geopolitical scale 3/

Early in the pandemic, health officials insisted that Covid-19 spread through droplets—through coughs and sneezes. In the medical canon, that’s how most respiratory infections were thought to spread. 1/ wired.trib.al/PFGbUeR
Some researchers disagreed. Linsey Marr, an aerosol scientist at Virginia Tech, suspected the coronavirus could hang in the air, infecting anyone who breathed in enough of it. 📷:Matt Eich 2/ Image
As evidence mounted that Covid was airborne, Marr and other scientists teamed up to try to convince the WHO and CDC to update their guidelines—to advise people to wear masks and improve ventilation. 3/

Forget snakes on a plane. How about a robot snake in a pool?

Carnegie Mellon roboticists approximated the biomechanics of a serpent—then loaded the thing with propellers. The result is a bot the US Navy might use to inspect ships and submarines 1/ wired.trib.al/csEMNB7
Unlike a sea snake, which uses its whole sinuous body to swim, this robot uses modular pieces of itself to maneuver. Its aft thruster produces forward movement while its lateral thrusters offer stability control. Also unlike a sea snake, it has a camera on its face 2/
At the moment, the robot’s swimming isn’t particularly sophisticated, but the team’s idea is to refine the algorithms that control its movement by using machine learning: By building a digital version of the robot in simulation, an AI can try many ways of swimming 3/
