Bluesky is advancing a plan to let users claim their own domain names as handles, a move that would further tie the social platform to the open web and reduce dependence on platform-owned identities.

China has announced plans to complete the first AI-assisted geological map of the entire Martian surface by 2028, a milestone that would deepen its planetary science capabilities and sharpen its competition with the United States in deep-space exploration.
