We like to believe humans are special, separate, and sitting at the top of some invisible hierarchy of life. But what if that story is not only wrong, it's actively harming our science, our relationships, and the way we move through the world? In this episode of Wild Connection, I'm joined by primatologist and author Dr. Christine Webb to talk about her new book, An Arrogant Ape. Christine grew up befriending the animals in her backyard, then found evolutionary biology and Darwin, which gave her a new perspective to that childhood sense of kinship with other animals. From there, she went on to study primates and teach a popular Harvard course also called “The Arrogant Ape,” focused on what truly makes us human and how we've built a culture around our supposed uniqueness. Together, we talk about human exceptionalism: how the idea that humans are above and apart from “animals” is threaded through our language, our textbooks, our politics, our food systems, our religious stories, and even the way we design scientific studies. We discuss why it became taboo in Western science to discuss animal emotions and minds, how behaviorism and the “black box” view of the mind sidelined rich subjective experiences, and why Darwin's own belief in animal minds was gradually pushed out of mainstream discourse.

L'amas globulaire massif Omega Centauri intrigue les astronomes depuis des décennies parce qu'il devrait contenir de nombreux trous noirs, mais les preuves de leur existence se font bien rares. Aujourd'hui, une équipe d'astrophysiciens, grâce aux données d'archives du télescope spatial Hubble et à des observations complémentaires du télescope spatial Webb, ont enfin localisé le premier trou noir de masse stellaire dans cet amas. L'étude a été publiée dans The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

# The Space Cowboy: Riding the Cosmic Frontier – Latest James Webb Space Telescope Discoveries Saddle up for an out-of-this-world journey through the newest **James Webb Space Telescope discoveries**! In this episode, The Space Cowboy takes listeners on a deep-space trail ride through groundbreaking findings that are reshaping our understanding of the universe. **What's covered in this episode:**
In hour one of Dover and Cecil, the guys start the show by asking you, the tribe, what some of your kids, nieces, or nephews' biggest accomplishments have been. What memories come to mind for Dover? We got some shocking numbers about the Broncos on first and second downs. Can Davis Webb really make a huge difference in that area, or are we setting him up for failure? What can Webb do to help improve in those areas? The Nuggets over/under win totals were released. The Avs had their point totals released. Which team is more likely to hit their mark? Which team could fall short of their expectations for the regular season? Josh has a serious Rockies dilemma coming up this weekend. Does he pay for tickets to a game this weekend for the first time in years?
In the final hour of Dover and Cecil, the guys start the hour by asking you, the tribe, what some of your kids, nieces, or nephews' biggest accomplishments have been. What memories come to mind for Dover? We got some shocking numbers about the Broncos on first and second downs. Can Davis Webb really make a huge difference in that area, or are we setting him up for failure? What can Webb do to help improve in those areas? The guys look at what the NFL Network is calling the Broncos' biggest issue! What did they identify as the biggest weakness, and do we agree? Could the running back room be better than we think? Is the tight end room as concerning to the national media as it is to us? We are breaking down a position group or player for the Broncos every day. Today we look at the backup pass rushers!
What if you could tell whether a rock exists on a planet 50 light-years away — without ever leaving Earth? This week Chris and Jesse welcome back friend-of-the-show Dr. Jackie Faherty (American Museum of Natural History) for her fourth appearance to talk about one of the wildest results in exoplanet science yet.The crew digs into a new Nature Astronomy paper on a rocky planet about 30% larger than Earth, orbiting a tiny star, whipping around fast with a scorching ~1,000 Kelvin surface and — surprisingly — no atmosphere. With no gas in the way, the James Webb Space Telescope was able to read the light coming off the planet itself and start distinguishing what the surface might be made of, right down to the debate geologists love: mafic vs. ultramafic, basalt vs. granite.Along the way, Jackie explains what makes JWST so special, why it sees in infrared, and how astronomers actually assign those famous colors to the images (spoiler: it's not random). They get into brown dwarfs and why she thinks one may be hiding in our own galactic neighborhood, the coming firehose of data from Rubin and NASA's Roman telescope, and why Jesse has to eat his old postdoc-era complaints that Webb was a waste of money.It's a mind-bending conversation about living in what feels like a science-fiction era — where a planet's light tells us its secrets.Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

Anna and Avery kick off with a decade-long game of cosmic hide-and-seek that has finally ended: Beta Pictoris d, the faintest exoplanet ever directly imaged from Earth, found lurking in more than ten years of archival images — and orbiting a star in the southern constellation Pictor. Then it's the completion of VLASS, the sharpest radio map of the whole sky ever made, arriving just as the Rubin Observatory's optical survey switches on. The James Webb Space Telescope has caught a supermassive black hole feeding itself in the Centaurus Cluster — the missing link in a decades-old mystery. A Pluto system double bill follows: the first landslides ever identified on Pluto, and evidence written in Charon's mountains that the big moon once spun more than ten times faster than it does today — both delivered by New Horizons data from 2015. Finally, SpaceX's latest FCC filing reveals Starlink satellites made over 355,000 collision-avoidance manoeuvres in the past year — nearly one dodge per satellite per week — and experts are warning about where the trend leads. Plus dark-sky Southern Hemisphere stargazing and a Starship Flight 13 launch reminder.

For the fourth and final hour of the day on Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, Stink issues his apology to our sister station and Stoke formulates a plan to pawn his terrible little dog off on some other poor soul. Who is responsible for Jaylen Waddle’s success? Is it on Davis Webb or Bo Nix? They break down the Spain-France match from yesterday and they predict today’s match between England and Argentina. Will, Stink, and Stoke cap off today’s episode educating the listeners about why they need to use protection... for their microphones. Also, they replay Mike’s pathetic voicemail one more time.
Astronomy Daily — S05E141 | Wednesday 15 July 2026 Anna and Avery bring you the biggest space and astronomy news of the day: Starship Flight 13 is cleared for Thursday after the FAA closes its Flight 12 investigation and SpaceX reveals exactly what went wrong; NASA astronaut Anil Menon rides a Soyuz to the ISS on his first flight; astronomers finally find the first of Omega Centauri's 10,000 "missing" black holes; the first-ever medical X-rays taken in space are published; four white dwarfs are found hiding within 65 light-years of Earth; and a new-moon dark-sky window opens with Comet 10P/Tempel 2 on the rise. In this episode • Starship Flight 13 — FAA closes the Flight 12 mishap investigation (July 13); root causes revealed: hot-staging ignition sequence caused a 90° booster orientation error, five Raptors failed to relight, alarm settings shut engines down early. Launch window opens Thursday July 16, 6:45pm EDT (Friday 8:45am AEST) with the first 20 functional Starlink V3 satellites and an in-space Raptor relight. • Soyuz MS-29 — NASA's Anil Menon with cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina launched from Baikonur July 14, docking three hours later for an eight-month stay. Menon and wife Anna Menon (Polaris Dawn) become a two-astronaut household; NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman attended in person. • Omega Centauri's first stellar-mass black hole — oMEGACat BH-2, found via astrometry in 20+ years of Hubble data plus Webb observations (ApJL, July 13). Lower-than-expected mass; its companion star's 94-year orbit makes it the longest-period black hole binary known. The cluster is naked-eye visible in southern winter skies right now. • First medical X-rays in space — RSNA publishes results from the Fram2 Crew Dragon mission: crew with 4 hours' training produced diagnostic-quality X-rays in orbit, opening the door to space radiology and non-destructive hardware testing on Moon and Mars missions. • Four hidden white dwarfs — Warwick/Colorado Boulder team unmasks four white dwarfs within 65 light-years using Hubble near-UV spectroscopy (MNRAS). G 203-47, ~25 light-years away, is now the ninth-closest known white dwarf and closes a 27-year-old wobble mystery. • Skywatch — New Moon (July 14) dark skies, Milky Way core season for the Southern Hemisphere, Comet 10P/Tempel 2 at magnitude 7–8 brightening toward early-August perihelion, and Mars near Aldebaran pre-dawn.

In hour three of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, they look ahead to training camp and Stink’s broadcasting schedule. They discuss what the dynamic between Payton, Webb, and Bo will be. Will Webb have to be the bad cop? Will he take time to get his bearings? Stink and Stoke look back at their football idols. Is it realistic to say that the 2026 Broncos can break the single-season sack record? Stink explains why they can do it. Cello plays a guessing game with Stink and Stoke. The Morning Crew wrap up the third hour coming up with merchandise ahead of Broncos training camp before Cello airs his worries that the Nuggets are going the way of the Milwaukee Bucks.
In hour two of Dover and Cecil, the guys look at Sports Illustrated's list of the NFL's top coordinators. The Broncos staff landed at number one! How were they able to make the top of the list with a first-year OC? Did Vance Joseph carry this team, or is there more buzz around Webb than we realized? We are breaking down a different Broncos player every day. Today we look at Jonathon Cooper from a football perspective. If he plays this year, what are we expecting from him? Could he be a double-digit sack artist, or will he flame out like he did last year? ESPN released its top 10 QBs, and Bo Nix ranked around 18. His classmates cracked the top 10 and made honorable mentions. Why is Bo such an afterthought to NFL voters? We check our X to close out the hour!

The Iran Contra Affair had other, far reaching, and devastating consequences. Because of close relationship between the CIA and the Contra rebels in Nicaragua, drug smuggling and the lucrative cocaine trade in disaffected communities in the United States became increasingly prevalent. As the CIA turned a blind eye to the crimes it was directly or indirectly condoning, the United States started the War on Drugs.Sources:Mayer, Jane, and Doyle McManus. Landslide.

In Hour 2, Grandi and Dibs continue discussing Logan Webb's social media habits and his possible trade value. They're also joined by Chris Rose of Jomboy Media and NFL Network to chat about the Giants and Webb.
In Hour 1 of Willard & Dibs, Marc Grandi and Dan Dibley discuss Logan Webb's outing in yesterday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, a game where the San Francisco Giants were nearly no-hit. Webb went after a member of the Bay Area sports media on Twitter and later deactivated his account. Could the Giants trade him at the deadline? Should they? The guys discuss this.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Phil and Aniello take a deep dive into the Nuggets. As we acknowledge the one-year anniversary of the Michael Porter Jr. trade, we get into an animated argument over whether it was the right move for the Nuggets. Is Cam Johnson better than MPJ straight up? Did the Nuggets "lose" the trade? Was the Nuggets getting off of MPJ's contract enough of a positive in the trade? How involved will Sean Payton be in the Broncos offense this season as Davis Webb calls plays? Will Payton give Webb a long leash for mistakes early in the season? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com's Will Petersen joining the show to discuss the Nuggets, the debate earlier in the show on whether Cam Johnson was better than Michael Porter Jr., and if Christian Braun will bounce back after a down year last season.
In a recent episode of this podcast, the conversation turned to the Giants' young pitcher Trevor McDonald, who had a tough outing in his last start. Mike Krukow discussed how McDonald's struggles might be related to his inability to recognize and adjust to the rhythm of the opposing team's hitters. This is a common issue for young pitchers, and the speaker noted that even experienced pitchers like Madison Bumgarner and the speaker themselves have had similar struggles early in their careers. The episode also touched on the progress of another young pitcher, Logan Webb, who had a strong outing in his last start. Kruk praised Webb's mechanics and noted that he's been able to repeat his delivery and dominate the knees, which is essential for his success. Mike Krukow also discussed the importance of mechanics in pitching, noting that when a pitcher's mechanics are off, they can put extra stress on their arm and lead to injuries. The conversation also covered the story of Adrian Houser, a veteran pitcher who was moved to the bullpen earlier in the season but has since found success as a reliever. The speaker noted that Houser's struggles were likely due to his lack of control and command, but he's since made adjustments and is now pitching effectively. The speaker also discussed the possibility of the Giants using a lefty opener to neutralize left-handed hitters and help Houser. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In hour 1, Spadoni and Shasky discuss that Giants fans should be allowed to fan how they please and the guys think it is questionable that Logan Webb made the All Star team.
We had such a night on our latest episode. Chris "Big hunk o'love" Webb and Rob Johnson (who you can't help falling in love with), had a little conversation in the gharage about the 2001 heist/thriller/comedy 3,000 MILES TO GRACELAND.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane digs into “algorithmic outing,” new research showing that social feeds can infer your sexual orientation before you have consciously come out. He also covers Meta’s privacy-aware AI infrastructure, Alberta’s 466-million-line code scan with Claude, NVIDIA on reinforcement learning, and the many journeys of learning Rust. Along the way, he hits Google DeepMind’s A24 deal, WhatsApp usernames, and scuba-diving cyborg cockroaches. Finally, he looks up with Webb’s puzzling early universe, NASA’s emergency telescope rescue, and a gorgeous aurora from orbit. – Want to start a podcast? Its easy to get started!

He hopes listeners had a good holiday weekend, and he shares that he spent his time working his other job at Oregon’s Finest, chatting with people around Portland. Because his Blurbry workweek tends to be solitary, he refills his social meter on the weekends. He then recalls a Saturday night out with coworkers at the Hungry Tiger before turning to the lead story. Algorithmic Outing: When Your Feed Knows Before You Do Cochrane leads with new research from Australia that identifies a phenomenon called “algorithmic outing.” In short, the recommendation systems behind your social feeds can infer your sexual orientation or gender identity and start serving related content before you have worked it out yourself. Importantly, the study is small and qualitative, built on in-depth interviews with twenty LGBTQ+ adults in the Hunter region of New South Wales and published in the journal Gender, Place and Culture. The mechanism is engagement signals: what you like, who you follow, and how long you linger on a post, a metric the industry calls dwell time. Lead researcher Dr. Justin Ellis of the University of Newcastle notes that several participants said the algorithm “knew” they were queer before they did, an experience that felt validating for some but frightening for others in public settings. For Cochrane, the deeper worry is what else that hidden pattern encodes, from upbringing to mental health, and where that data ultimately gets sold.

Meta’s Blueprint for Privacy-Aware AI Infrastructure Next, Cochrane turns to a sharp engineering piece from Meta on privacy-aware infrastructure. The core challenge is that a system must understand what a piece of data actually is before any privacy rule can protect it. A field named “age,” for example, might describe a person in one place and a cache setting in another. Meta’s answer deploys a large language model only on the genuinely ambiguous cases, then distills what it learns into fixed, human-reviewed rules. The payoff is concrete. According to Meta, those deterministic rules already handle about 85 percent of the traffic, and only the last 15 percent falls back to the model, which costs roughly 400 times more compute. Cochrane loves this edge-case approach. However, he contrasts it sharply with the AI-everywhere software he wrestles with at his weekend job, which he says the heavy AI reliance genuinely makes worse and harder to audit. Alberta Scans 466 Million Lines of Code With Claude This one comes from Anthropic, and it ties directly to Meta’s theme. A team inside Alberta’s Ministry of Technology and Innovation used Claude to scan 466 million lines of code in about twenty hours, a review Anthropic estimates would have taken humans roughly six and a half years. Notably, they ran around fifty AI agents in parallel, essentially an automated red team and blue team probing the systems at once. For Cochrane, this is the good version of AI in production: cleaning up and locking down real systems rather than running the show unsupervised. NVIDIA on Reinforcement Learning for AI Agents On the AI-building side, Cochrane walks through an NVIDIA developer piece on reinforcement learning for agents. Reinforcement learning rewards a model for good behavior rather than showing it the right answer, much like training a dog with treats. Additionally, he clears up a common mix-up. NVIDIA treats RAG, retrieval-augmented generation, as a separate tool: reinforcement learning changes how a model behaves, while RAG changes what facts it can reach. GitHub Retires Two Gemini Models Meanwhile, GitHub is retiring Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash across all of Copilot on July 31. The migration paths are Gemini 3.1 Pro and Gemini 3.5 Flash. Cochrane flags it as a sign of the times, since tools that felt brand new a couple of years ago are already getting sunset. He also wonders how quickly today’s “AI-optimized” chips will turn over as the models keep changing. The Many Journeys of Learning Rust One for the programmers, and Cochrane makes no secret of loving Rust. The Rust blog’s Vision Doc series explores how people actually learn the language, which is built around memory safety and its strict borrow checker. Honest themes surface throughout, including “clone guilt,” where beginners refuse to copy anything, and “silent attrition,” the learners who quietly bounce off. His take stands: getting your brain onto a memory-safe language rewires how you approach a problem. Google DeepMind Partners With A24 In an interesting collision of worlds, Google DeepMind is teaming up with A24, the studio behind Hereditary and Everything Everywhere All at Once. The two call it a first-of-its-kind research partnership, with DeepMind researchers and A24 building creative tools shaped by the artists who use them. Cochrane adds a detail worth noting: Google also invested in A24, so this is money on the table, not just a research handshake. For now, though, the announcement stays deliberately vague, with no named films or products. Google’s $1 Million Africa Indie Game Fund Another one from Google, and it is good news for developers. Google is launching an indie games fund for sub-Saharan Africa, a region whose gaming scene is growing about as fast as anywhere. The fund puts up $1 million across ten local studios, each receiving between $50,000 and $200,000 plus mentorship and hands-on support. Applications close at noon UTC on July 31. WhatsApp Usernames Are Here to Reserve WhatsApp is finally moving off phone numbers as your identity. With usernames, someone can start a conversation with you without ever seeing your number. Starting this week, you can reserve the name you want ahead of the full launch later this year. To claim yours, head into Settings, then Account, then Username. Intel Sets Its Q2 Earnings Date Cochrane flags a date worth watching for anyone tracking Intel. The company reports second-quarter results on July 23, right after market close, with an earnings call at 2 p.m. Pacific. Given recent US government investment and a shifting chip landscape, he is curious how the domestic chipmaker is holding up. Your Smartwatch Might Spot Illness Before You Do Shifting to health, Engadget reports that the wearables-plus-AI wave is starting to deliver. These devices excel at catching the moment your body drifts off its own baseline, often the first nudge to get checked out. A 2025 study from Texas A&M and Stanford suggests smartwatches can detect early signs of COVID or the flu within hours of infection. Additionally, Apple Watch’s irregular-rhythm alerts have flagged AFib correctly about 84 percent of the time. Working Memory and Consciousness Here is a heady one from Scientific American, written by philosopher Henry Taylor at the University of Birmingham. Working memory is the mental scratchpad holding whatever you are doing right now. Taylor opens with the doorway effect, that blank moment when you enter a room and forget why. Intriguingly, when information leaves working memory, it seems to leave conscious awareness at the same instant, a link drawing fresh attention across psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience. Scuba-Diving Cyborg Cockroaches Now for the wild one. Scientists have built tiny diving suits that let Madagascar hissing cockroaches survive underwater for up to three hours, while an unequipped roach suffocates in minutes. The 3D-printed suit feeds oxygen through tubes into the insect’s breathing holes, called spiracles, using a chemical generator with no electronics. This lab already steered the roaches with electrodes, so the diving suit is the new trick on top. Researchers pitch it for search and rescue, though Cochrane notes the reality of the spy bug has already arrived. Quantum Time Runs Backward at Los Alamos Next, a genuine brain-bender. Physicists at Los Alamos, led by Luis Pedro García-Pintos, found a way to make a quantum system look like it is running backward in time. To be clear, time is not literally reversing. Precise measurements just make the system’s evolution appear to unfold in reverse. The useful part is energy: measurement itself becomes a resource in what they call a continuous measurement engine. Cochrane admits the paper drifted further from his reality the more he read. Tall Trees Shrug Off Drought A new study in Science overturns some textbook wisdom. For years, the assumption held that taller trees suffer more in drought because they must lift water higher. However, researchers studying dipterocarps in Southeast Asia found that trees topping seventy meters slowed their growth by about the same amount as short ones during the 2023-2024 El Niño drought. The trick is plumbing: a seventy-meter tree grows base vessels roughly twice as wide as a ten-meter tree, so the real driver of drought stress is subtler than raw height. The Energy Department Purges Conservation Pages This next one frustrates Cochrane. The US Department of Energy deleted roughly 6,000 web pages about energy conservation, and the timing is brutal during a record heatwave. The move followed backlash over New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani urging residents to ease strain on the grid. Fortunately, the Internet Archive and its Wayback Machine preserved the pages before they vanished. For Cochrane, deleting that kind of public information simply does not make sense. Webb’s Puzzling New Universe Heading to space, Quanta Magazine explores how the James Webb Space Telescope keeps finding early-universe objects that should not exist. Those include black holes that grew enormous too fast and hundreds of mysterious “little red dots” around 650 million years after the Big Bang. As astrophysicist Rachel Somerville of the Flatiron Institute puts it, scientists have “almost gone from having too many early galaxies to having too many theories.” The hard part now is figuring out which theory is right. NASA’s Emergency Telescope Rescue NASA has a rescue mission underway for the Swift Observatory, a 2004 telescope that studies gamma-ray bursts. Recent solar storms puffed up Earth’s atmosphere, and the added drag has dragged Swift’s orbit down to about 224 miles, low enough to risk burning up this year. To intervene, NASA enlisted Katalyst Space Technologies of Flagstaff, Arizona, whose LINK spacecraft launched Friday. The plan is to boost Swift back up to roughly 373 miles. A Gorgeous Aurora From Orbit Finally, Cochrane closes on something beautiful. ESA shared a stunning aurora captured from orbit, a shimmering green band of light rippling over the planet. If you have a few minutes, it is well worth a look. Cochrane wraps with housekeeping and a thank-you to GoDaddy for two decades of support, then signs off, wishing listeners a wonderful evening.

Today on Astronomy Daily: Japan's Hayabusa2 pulls off a nail-biting high-speed asteroid flyby, James Webb finds the same unexplained chemical mystery on Titan AND Pluto, a neutrino detector may have caught the universe's oldest supernova echo, a wild new theory tries to solve the black hole information paradox, we wrap up the weekend's aurora action, and we look at when NASA's New Horizons might finally cross into interstellar space.Monday, July 6, 2026 1. Hayabusa2's Flyby of Asteroid Torifune • JAXA's Hayabusa2 spacecraft flew within ~800 metres of near-Earth asteroid (98943) Torifune on July 5, 2026, at a relative speed of about 5.25 km/s (~18,000 km/h). • This is an extended-mission flyby, not a sample return — Hayabusa2 already delivered Ryugu samples to Earth in December 2020. • Purpose: engineering demonstration of high-precision navigation relevant to planetary defense (asteroid deflection technology). • Torifune is roughly 450 metres across. Next stop for Hayabusa2: rendezvous with asteroid 1998 KY26 in 2031. • Source: JAXA/ISAS, Nikkei Asia, phys.org (July 5, 2026). 2. Mystery Molecule Found on Both Titan and Pluto • James Webb Space Telescope data reveals an unexplained absorption feature at ~5.11 micrometres on the surfaces of Titan (Saturn's largest moon) and Pluto. • Evidence points to a surface origin rather than atmospheric origin, based on limb-vs-disc-center comparison on Titan. • Candidate compounds include allenes, but no confirmed identification yet. • Pluto's absorption line is roughly three times broader than Titan's at the same central wavelength. • Study led by Dr. Bruno Bézard's team (Paris Observatory); posted to arXiv June 11, 2026 — not yet peer-reviewed. 3. Super-Kamiokande's Hint of the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background • Super-Kamiokande collaboration presented results at Neutrino 2026 (UC Irvine) after analyzing ~5,000 days of data. • Found a statistically significant excess of events between 13.3–81.3 MeV — consistent with the long-predicted Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB). • Significance: 2.6-sigma (~99.5% confidence) — below the 5-sigma discovery threshold, so described as an 'indication,' not a confirmed detection. • If confirmed, DSNB would offer a new way to study the cosmic history of core-collapse supernovae via neutrinos rather than light. 4. A Theoretical Fix for the Black Hole Information Paradox • New theoretical study proposes black holes stop evaporating just before vanishing completely, leaving a stable Planck-scale remnant (~9×10⁻⁴¹ kg). • Mechanism: a repulsive force from spacetime torsion in a 7-dimensional Einstein-Cartan model, active at extreme (Planckian) densities. • Proposal: quantum information is preserved via long-lived 'vibrations' in the remnant's internal torsion field. • This is a theoretical/mathematical proposal, not an observational result. Researchers: Pinčák, Pigazzini, Pudlák, Bartoš. 5. Weekend Geomagnetic Storm / Aurora Wrap-Up • X1.1 solar flare (June 30) and associated CME triggered a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm around July 3–4, 2026. • Aurora borealis visible as far south as Utah, Colorado, and Nevada in the continental US. • NOAA SWPC reports conditions easing to unsettled/G1 levels through July 6 as CME effects wane. 6. Forecasting New Horizons' Crossing Into Interstellar Space • SwRI researchers (lead: Dr. Jonathan Gasser) combined solar wind forecasting with heliosphere models to predict New Horizons' termination shock crossing. • Forecast window: 2029–2040, with possible multiple crossings as the heliosphere expands/contracts with the solar cycle. • New Horizons is currently ~66 AU from the Sun. Voyager 2 crossed its termination shock at 84 AU in 2007, with a 46% solar wind speed drop. • New Horizons would become only the third spacecraft (after Voyager 1 and 2) to cross this boundary. • Two papers: Advances in Space Research and The Astrophysical Journal (SwRI, 2026).Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/astronomy-daily-the-latest-space-news--5648921/support.Sponsor Details:Ensure your online privacy by using NordVPN.

Miranda Webb, featured in HBO's documentary series The Anarchists, joins Mark Edge to set the record straight on what the show got right, what it left out, and what it was actually like to live through it. She speaks candidly about the abusive relationship with her late partner, the circumstances surrounding his death in Acapulco, and why she believes the series softened a far darker reality. Miranda also opens up about the practical realities of living as a fugitive in Mexico for the past six years, from the impossibility of opening a bank account to the constant risk of immigration checkpoints, and why she has chosen to stay rather than turn herself in to face charges in Ohio. The conversation covers the difficulty of finding legal representation, the cost of justice in the American system, and her plans to eventually pursue Mexican citizenship. The episode closes on a lighter note as Miranda discusses her new role as director of operations for Anarchapulco, how the event has evolved from its chaotic early years into a more family oriented and growth focused gathering, and what is coming next with Liberpulco, the Gratitude Gathering, and Anarchapulco 2027 in Puerto Vallarta.
