You’ve seen 360-degree, panoramic photos before. You may have even taken a few with the latest Android release or iOS app. But what you haven’t experienced is the fully controlled, immersive 360-degree video on offer from Making View.

The Norwegian company released its latest collaboration with Red Bull, fitting the firm’s custom-developed camera system atop one of the energy drink dynasty’s F1 cars and giving driver Sébastien Buemi a chance to tackle the track.

The result is the video above, which allows you to pan around the circuit using your keyboard or mouse as Buemi canes the open-wheeled racer up and over 200 MPH.

Considering motorsports coverage hasn’t kept pace with the technological advances enjoyed by football, basketball and baseball fans, this has the potential to bring racing action into the 21st century – assuming you’re basking in a steady stream of high-speed bandwidth.

VY Canis Majoris also illustrates the conceptual problem of defining the "surface" (and radius) of very large stars. With an average density of 0.000005 to 0.000010 kg/m3, the star is a thousand times less dense than the atmosphere of the Earth (air) at sea level. It is also undergoing strong mass loss with the outer layers of the star no longer gravitationally bound. The definition of the boundary of such stars is based on the Rosseland Radius, the location at which the opacity is one. In cases such as VY CMa, the radius may be defined on a different opacity value or on an opacity at a particular wavelength

Renault, Lotus, Williams… there’s been an ever growing trend recently for classic liveries on modern F1 cars and now, here’s a load more thanks to some Photoshop skills from RaikkonenWDC. We’ve got some classic McLarens, Benettons and Williams.

The Classic Malboro McLaren livery. Cigarette advertising may be long gone but many people thought the famous red and white of McLaren might return thanks to their Vodafone sponsorship.

Williams ran a Rothmans style retro livery in 2011, then with the return of Renault engines a year later, many expected to see something like this on the car.
