The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a groundbreaking discovery by directly imaging a new exoplanet, marking the first time an unknown planet has been identified through this method. The young gas giant, roughly the size of Saturn, orbits a star named TWA 7 located approximately 110 light-years from Earth in the constellation Antlia, according to researchers. This discovery is significant as most of the nearly 5,900 exoplanets detected since the 1990s have been found via indirect methods, like the transit technique, which observes dimming stars. The newly identified planet, however, is the least massive ever captured through direct imaging, weighing only ten times that of previous record holders, highlighting the JWST's advanced capabilities. Anne-Marie Lagrange, an astronomer from the French research agency CNRS, remarked on the importance of this finding, noting that it expands the scope of observable exoplanets and aids in understanding their formation and evolution. Presently, researchers are exploring the planet's atmospheric composition and potential mass-gaining processes, with further observations planned to uncover more details.

Noshir Gowadia, a 1944 Mumbai-born engineer and former employee of Northrop Grumman, was convicted in 2010 for espionage, having leaked classified information about B-2 Stealth Bombers to China. Gowadia, who emigrated to the U.S. in the 1960s to study aeronautical engineering, significantly contributed to the development of the B-2 Spirit's stealth capabilities. These contributions included innovations in radar absorption and infrared detection. His career took a dark turn after retirement in the late 1980s, when Gowadia faced scrutiny for several visits to China in the early 2000s. According to the BBC, he received substantial payments in exchange for top-secret military data, facilitating China’s military advancements. He was sentenced to 32 years in prison, reflecting the U.S. government's commitment to safeguarding national security. Prosecutors highlighted that his actions compromised military secrets, while defense lawyers contended that Gowadia only shared publicly available data. The case remains a significant warning against espionage, especially given China’s subsequent advancements in stealth technology following Gowadia's leaks.

Tesla is facing a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estates of three individuals who died in a crash involving its Model S car on New Jersey’s Garden State Parkway. The lawsuit, submitted to a Camden court on June 24, 2025, stems from a tragic incident on September 14, 2024, in which David Dryman, 54; his wife Michelle, 54; and their daughter Brooke, 17, lost their lives. The suit claims that the vehicle's "faulty and highly dangerous design" caused it to drift out of its lane and fail to brake, ultimately leading to the fatal accident. The Dryman family was reportedly returning from a music festival when their car veered off the road, colliding with a sign, guardrail, and concrete bridge support. According to the complaint, the family was wearing seat belts, and Tesla did not adequately warn the driver of inherent safety risks. Although Tesla maintains that its self-driving features are designed for alert drivers, the company has faced scrutiny over its Autopilot technology, prompting a recall of over 2 million vehicles in December 2023 for safety enhancements, as noted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
