The Acolyte was supposed to shake up Star Wars. The series had a female showrunner in Leslye Headland and a Black lead in Amandla Stenberg, and a bold new setting: the last days of the High Republic, one hundred years before Anakin Skywalker was born. The series also questioned our understanding of the Force, the Jedi, and the very foundations of Star Wars itself. It was a bold new vision for the franchise.

The Acolyte also ended on a bold cliffhanger, setting its main character on a path towards the Dark side while finally bringing one legendary Sith character into Star Wars live-action. So it may come as a disappointment (if perhaps not a total surprise) to learn that The Acolyte is canceled.

Deadline reports that The Acolyte will not be getting a second season. The report notes that although the show boasted strong streaming numbers in the first week, it struggled to keep that momentum. The series also drew backlash from certain corners of the fanbase, which may explain both that low viewership and this ultimate decision.

Something in space powerful enough to slingshot a would-be star out of the Milky Way at a million miles an hour is mystifying scientists.

A team of citizen scientists first discovered the object while they were working on NASA’s Backyard Worlds Planet 9 project, which uses images from the space agency’s WISE (Wide-field Infrared Explorer) mission. The mission ran from 2009 to 2011 and mapped the sky in infrared light. Once scientists at NASA got involved, they’ve since learned more about the object, including what it could be made of and where it came from.
