The Eternals isn’t coming to Egypt just yet: The latest Marvel movie didn’t hit cinemas yesterday as was originally planned, according to a brief statement from IMAX Egypt. The Eternals stirred up controversy because it includes LGBTQ+ content, including a same-gender kiss scene (the first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe). Disney refused requests from the MENA region to edit out the scene, leading the movie to get banned altogether in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait, according to the Guardian. IMAX’s statement doesn’t say when the movie will begin showing in cinemas here at home.

Elon Musk actually sold USD 5 bn of Tesla stock, (kind of) because Twitter told him to. The b’naire CEO sold 4.5 mn shares or around 3% of his total holdings in the automaker, Reuters reported. This is Musk’s first sale since 2016 and it comes days after he set up a Twitter poll asking if he should sell 10% of his shares in the automaker. Over half the respondents voted yes, prompting Tesla’s shares to fall by around 16% before regaining some ground yesterday. However, regulatory filings show that the sale of about a fifth of the shares was made based on a pre-arranged trading plan set up in September, weeks before his social media post. Tesla, the world’s most valuable car maker, is up more than 51% this year.

Can satellite imaging save the planet? Google Earth and Google Maps’ lesser known cousin Earth Engine makes it possible for scientists to identify water sources and figure out where to plant trees by allowing them to monitor things like deforestation in real time, writes Bloomberg. The platform can gather information such as soil composition and water vapor rising from farmlands, and allows users to draw their own interactive maps, with 20k dynamic images added to its collection daily. The Engine, which is currently launching its corporate product, allows clients like Unilever to deliver on their promise of ensuring that palm oil isn’t being produced at the expense of illegal logging of tropical forests. It also allows flood mapping platforms like Cloud to Street to monitor and predict the intensity, duration and impact of flooding in flood-prone regions of Africa, as well as to gauge water use in arid regions in the American west.
