AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoInterstellar Objects: Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb estimates millions of small interstellar objects may orbit near Earth, extrapolating from two candidate meteors. The idea is speculative, but finding such material could offer clues to other star systems—and expose gaps in planetary monitoring. Marine Ecology: A University of Maine study links an 80% drop in baby lobsters sampled from 2010 to 2022 with steep declines in young and adult lobsters along Maine’s midcoast, threatening a fishery worth more than $461 million in 2025. Timekeeping: International timekeepers voted to replace leap seconds with a leap hour, aiming to reduce glitches in computer systems that rely on precise time. Mars Exploration: NASA’s Curiosity rover captured a detailed panorama of wind-carved cliffs on Mount Sharp, revealing yardang formations in Gale Crater. Astronomy: Chandra observations suggest a striking, treble-clef-shaped radio structure comes from a black-hole outburst and the collision of two galaxy clusters.
