P lay it again, pets! This miniature piano gives your furry friend a chance to try its paws at music. It's a treat dispenser for cats and dogs. To snag a treat, your pet has to press on the keys and play a short tune. With that, the piano releases a few morsels into an attached bowl for your pal to gobble up. To keep pets healthy, the instrument can be programmed so that it doesn't release treats for every single song. Otherwise, there's a good chance your pet's jam sessions would never end! Here's to making music for munchies. F ashion is calling. A London designer recently paired up with a phone company to create a techy trend: large sunglasses shaped like smartphones! There's nothing smart about the glasses, and they can't be used to make a call or connect to any apps. The lenses of the eyewear are simply designed to have the look of a smartphone. The glasses are part of a line of fashion accessories that also includes a backpack for a phone and a belt to hold your favourite device. So what do you think: cool swag or a fashion fail? A Christmas tree in outer space? How's that for festive! Last winter, NASA released an image of a cluster of stars that are about 2,500 light years away. Officially known as NGC 2264, this cosmic cluster looks like a glowing Christmas tree. In fact, the celestial figure is more commonly known as the Christmas Tree Cluster because of its likeness. It was originally discovered by a British astronomer in 1784, and it's made up of young stars that are between 1 and 5 million years old—some larger than the Sun!
