AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoSpace Milestone: Voyager 1 is nearing one light-day from Earth—more than 26 billion kilometres away—so its radio signals will take 24 hours to arrive. The nearly 49-year-old probe is still sending back scientific and engineering data. Astronomy: A star system 5,000 light-years away is producing radio pulses every eight minutes; researchers traced them to a white dwarf and a Sun-like star. Webb has also detected light from H₃⁺, a molecule physicists predicted decades ago. Planetary Science: The exoplanet TOI-2535 b didn’t vanish: an unseen companion may be tilting its orbit, causing its transits to disappear from view. Physics: Researchers have identified a mathematical limit to making time run backward, while another team reports controlling a single atomic nucleus without using an electron as a go-between. Geology: A striking “yellow brick road” on the Pacific seafloor is natural rock, formed by volcanic activity and altered by hydrothermal processes. Ecology: A study estimates that current consumption patterns could sustainably support far fewer people than Earth’s 8.3 billion population, while stressing that its figures are model-based and uncertain.
