Caltech and Michigan theorists find a dying Sun shedding mass in 4,600 random kicks unravels the giant planets' orbits within 10 billion years in 90% of runs. It is a simulation result built on kick sizes inferred from Gaia binaries, and the reported figures do not cleanly support the hundredfold speed-up over the old estimate.

Webb watched Chariklo, the first small body found to have rings, cross in front of a star in 2022, and the ring opacities it measured do not match the ground-based ones from the previous decade. The paper offers three explanations.

Berkeley's RDI center attacked the step where each benchmark computes its score, and without solving a task its own scorecard reports 100% on five of the eight, about 98% on GAIA and 73% on OSWorld.
