One of the wonderful peculiarities of the Moon is that it's tidally locked facing the Earth. What that means is that only one side of the satellite ever faces our planet — there isn't a dark side of the Moon, but there is a far side that we don't get to see. So while the Moon does rotate much like the Earth, it...

Fujifilm has just taken the wraps off the 16.3 megapixel, APS-C sensor-shod Fuji X-A1, and it's the spitting image of last June's X-M1 -- yet somehow manages to shave one-quarter off its sibling's price tag.

The early 1990s weren't exactly a memorable time for fashion, and American malls certainly weren't bastions of culture, but a new photo book attempts to capture both with doses of art, nostalgia, and humor. The book, called "Malls Across America," goes on sale next month, but the project began as a Kickstarter last...

"Plain Sight" is an intriguing, brief video that takes relatively mundane flyover footage, and transforms it into a fun (and slightly bizarre) game of hiding still images in the video.
