Max, Peacock, and Hulu. We have a list of movies with their release dates on OTT streaming platforms. After a bumpy run in theaters, Kevin Costner's Western “Horizon: An American Saga” is landing Friday, August 23, on Max. Costner's three-hour epic, the first of what Costner had hoped would be a four-film series, didn't win over a lot of critics and didn't light up the box office ($29 million domestically) despite Costner's passionate belief in the project. (He put up millions of his own money for its $100 million-plus budget.) A release date for the already-completed part two was also postponed.

citizen scientists working with NASA's Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project has discovered a mysterious object, designated CWISE J124909.08+362116.0, speeding out of the Milky Way at about 1 million miles per hour. This object, detected in data from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission, presents a unique challenge for classification due to its low mass and metallicity, suggesting it could be one of the oldest objects in our galaxy. This discovery underscores the significance of infrared astronomy and the valuable contributions of amateur astronomers to scientific research. The discovery of CWISE J1249 was made by Martin Kabatnik, Thomas P. Bickle, and Dan Caselden, who were participating in the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project. The project utilizes data from NASA's WISE mission, which mapped the sky in infrared light from 2009 to 2011. The citizen scientists spotted a faint, fast-moving object in the WISE images. Subsequent observations with several ground-based telescopes confirmed the object’s rapid movement. It is traveling at a speed of approximately 1 million miles per hour, which is so fast that it will eventually escape the Milky Way’s gravitational pull and enter intergalactic space.
