This R2-D2 Mini Fridge Will Serve You Drinks
Haier Asia has produced a life size R2-D2 mini fridge that will deliver drinks to you.
The fridge is fully detailed, comes with a remote control, and is rechargeable. When summoned, it will roll over to you and you'll be able to open the front panel to grab a drink.
This isn't the biggest R2-D2 out there though, because All Nippon Airways and Disney are teaming up to transform a Dreamliner into a flying R2-D2.
It is thought the R2-D2 mini fridge will be coming out next year, but no pricing information is available yet.
Pluto’s Moons Are Out of Control
Data from the Hubble telescope has shown that two of Pluto's moons "wobble unpredictably," according to NASA.
The data has revealed "a cosmic dance with a chaotic rhythm," said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
The New Horizons spacecraft is rapidly approaching Pluto, and the moons will be studied in closer detail when it flies by in June.
According to the data, the moons Nix and Hydra are wobbling because of shifting gravitational fields, caused by the double planet system of Pluto and Charon whirling about each other. It is also thought that its other moons, Kerberos and Styx, are behaving similarly.

Yooka-Laylee Hopefully Bigger Than Banjo-Kazooie
Yooka-Laylee developers have taken to Reddit to answer an AMA about the upcoming spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie.
Heaps of questions were flung at Playtonic Games during the session, which also offered insight into their past days working at Rare on some very well-known titles. The main focus, however, was the upcoming platformer Yooka-Laylee.
When asked if the relatively cheap Kickstarter price was indicative of the size of the game, creative lead Gavin Price explained the team was now aiming to make the title even bigger than Banjo-Kazooie. He also explained why the team hasn't announced disc versions for the Xbox One and PS4 just yet.
