rendering software, this set of moon
maps has been created using data

Although it kicked off after the start of
the tournament, Google News’ new
Champions League hub should prove
a winner with football
fans. It lets you see the
latest results, tables
and imminent fixtures,
and provides a wealth
of media reports
on matches and
individual clubs, along
with a selection of
relevant tweets. The
service works via the
web, as well as in the
Google News apps for
iOS and Android (the
app has an interactive
wheel that lets you view specific
groups). To follow the action, type
‘Champions League’ into Google News
and select the entry marked ‘topic’.bit.ly/pet
Ganimal is a quirky AI tool from Nvidia
that uses a generative adversarial
network (or GAN) to recreate your
pet’s expression and pose on other
mammals – a tricky and impressive
technological feat but, from a user
perspective, as easy as uploading
a photo of your pet and selecting
Translate. The tool has been tested on
Firefox and Chrome (we found it didn’t
work in Safari), and you can also read
the academic paper and download the
code from GitHub.bit.ly/green
According to the Office of National Statistics,
living near public parks, gardens and playing
fields increases the value of a property. To see
the amount of money green space adds to the
price of your home, enter your postcode and
property price into this tool, then move the
slider to see how much difference it would make
if you lived further away.
