Google to avoid jury trial in antitrust case after giving $2.3 million to U.S. (CNN) —  A U.S. federal judge ruled on Friday that an antitrust lawsuit brought by the U.S. government against Google will be decided by a judge and not a jury after Google wrote the government a check, paying back the full amount of monetary damages the lawsuit sought.

Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders, who snapped one of the most famous photographs taken in outer space, has died at the age of 90. Officials say a small plane he was flying crashed into the water north of Seattle, Washington. Anders' son Greg confirmed that his father was flying the small plane, and that his body was recovered on Friday afternoon. "The family is devastated. He was a great pilot. He will be missed," a statement from the family reads. Anders - who was a lunar module pilot on the Apollo 8 mission - took the iconic Earthrise photograph, one of the most memorable and inspirational images of Earth from space.

Anders later described it as his most significant contribution to the space programme. The image is widely credited with motivating the global environmen
