On a regular basis, Google compiles a list of which science and technology topics are being queried the most by US users in its dedicated Search engine. Over the past 24 hours, Ford's new F-150 pickup, Instagram's Reels and NASA space news were among the most searched science and technology topics.

Over the past 24 hours, Ford's new F-150 pickup and its new tech garnered the most attention in Google Search's trending science and technology topics.

Ford F-150

On June 25, Ford revealed the latest version of the full-size F-150 pick-up, which the company describes as the "toughest, most productive," and "most powerful" F-150 yet. The light-duty truck gains a handful of tools to enhance customer productivity, a series of technological improvements including over-the-air updates, and an all-new hybrid power option comes with an integrated power generator.

Instagram • TikTok Facebook Social media

Late last year, Instagram released a TikTok-inspired feature called Reels. This gives users the tools to record and edit 15-second videos which can be put to music, giving everyone the opportunity to go viral. Reels launched in France and Germany this week after being exclusively available in Brazil for a few months.

Sun • NASA • Solar Dynamics Observatory

On June 24, NASA published a time lapse video of the sun. The approximately 10-minute long video captures the evolution of the sun over 10 years, with every second being a day.

Pluto • Dwarf planet • Ocean • Surface • New Horizons • Natural satellite

Earlier this week, a study was published in Nature Geoscience describing the possibility that Pluto could have had a hot, instead of cold, start during which an ocean formed beneath the surface implying that life could have been, or be, inside the planet. In fact, this conclusion suggests that "early oceans may have been common in the interiors of large Kuiper belt objects". – AFP Relaxnews
