Ripley creator Steven Zaillian is a master of minutiae. The multi-hyphenate screenwriter and director has proven himself uniquely adept at building stories not only out of the most minute of details but also exploring the inner lives of characters whose journeys are often determined by the smallest possible decisions and moments.

Take a look at his credits and you'll realize that there's almost no one more well-suited to bringing a grifter and murderer like Tom Ripley to life onscreen.

Lo and behold, the filmmaker is in complete control of Ripley across its eight episodes. Andrew Scott shines in a nightmarish noir that wisely takes its time.

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover just made it to a channel called Gediz Vallis. This spot is the perfect place for taking a dramatic alien panorama. But, it might also contain hidden clues of ancient water on the Red Planet.

Rocks have long suggested that Mars was wetter and warmer billions of years ago. Current evidence suggests that water on the Red Planet came and went in phases. NASA is searching for hints of a critical turning point: when these phases ended and liquid water permanently disappeared from Mars’s surface and forever transformed the once-wet planet into the barren world of today. Gediz Vallis might contain clues of this point of no return.
