- 1First direct radio signal detected from planet beyond solar system▼Reseachers detect a direct radio signal from planet beyond solar system for the first time
Researchers have reported detecting a direct radio signal from a planet outside the solar system for the first time. The announcement is being widely shared as a potential milestone in the study of exoplanets, since radio emissions have previously been observed mainly from stars and other cosmic objects rather than from planets themselves. Details about which planet was involved and how the signal was confirmed have not yet been widely reported.
- 2Argentina launches first solar-powered train●"Argentina’s first solar train runs on batteries charged by the Andean sun" # Argentina # Trains # PublicTransport # Sol
Argentina has put its first solar train into service, running on batteries charged by solar power harnessed in the Andean region. The project is being presented as a milestone for sustainable public transport in the country, combining renewable energy with rail travel. Early coverage highlights it as an example of how solar power can replace fossil fuels in transport, drawing attention from environmental and clean-energy observers.
- 3Harvard Team Detects Radio Signal From Exoplanet▼Harvard Scientists Detect Radio Signal Coming Directly From Planet Outside the Solar System
Harvard scientists report detecting a radio signal apparently coming directly from a planet outside the solar system. If confirmed, it would be a rare example of a radio emission traced to an exoplanet, possibly generated by the planet's magnetic field interacting with its star. Astronomers say such detections could open a new way to study distant planets, though further observations are needed to verify the signal's origin.
- 4First Solar Stock Slides Toward 52-Week Low▼First Solar (FSLR) Slides Toward A 52 Week Low, Is The Stock Now Cheap?
First Solar shares are falling toward their lowest level in a year, prompting questions among investors about whether the US solar panel maker is now undervalued. The slide comes as solar stocks broadly face pressure, and market watchers are debating whether the drop represents a buying opportunity or a sign of deeper trouble for the company.
- 5California homeowner gets first negative PG&E bill with battery exports●California homeowner on NEM 3.0 gets first negative PG&E bill, thanks to August battery exports
A California homeowner on the state's NEM 3.0 solar billing scheme has received their first negative PG&E bill, with excess electricity exported from a home battery in August more than covering their usage charges. It is being cited as an example of how battery storage can offset the steep export-rate cuts introduced under NEM 3.0, which slashed payments for rooftop solar power sent to the grid.
