Planets beyond our solar system can have magnetic fields similar to those closer to home, astronomers said Tuesday after observing extreme winds on scorching worlds known as "hot Jupiters."

Short-lived sources of radio radiation in the sky, known as radio transients, can originate in the vicinity of supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies. They are the result of processes that take place under extreme physical conditions. While most radio transients associated with galactic centers last only days or weeks, the galaxy SDSS J110546.07+145202.4 has been shining very brightly in radio light for several years—the first source of its kind.

• Roush has released a special Red Edition supercharger kit for 2021–2026 Ford F-150 models with the 5.0-liter V-8.
• The Red Edition is a limited-production release that was created to celebrate the company turning 50 and America's 250th birthday.
  
• The $8899.99 kit costs the same as the existing one, albeit with a red-painted supercharger housing; both increase output to 705 horsepower and 635 pound-feet of torque.

The engineers at Roush are no strangers to big numbers. They already make a kit to supercharge the 5.0-liter V-8s in 2021-and-newer Ford F-150s, giving them 705 horsepower. Now, just in time for two big-number birthdays, that kit is available in a new color: red.

NASA’s Swift space telescope is reaching the end of its two-decade run in orbit – unless a satellite launched on 3 July can give it a lifesaving boost

Chrome’s new Lighthouse Agentic Browsing audit treats your .txt file as a markdown document. If your llms.txt does not use markdown link syntax, you fail the audit, even when every link in the file is accurate and works. I ran the audit on nohacks.co. Two of six audits passed. Three came back not applicable. One failed: the llms.txt audit, with the verbatim error “File does not appear to contain any links.” The fix was five characters per link. The file is still served as plain text. Only the audit result changed.

• Chevrolet is offering Stars and Steel packages for the Corvette, Colorado, and Silverado lineups.
• These Stars and Steel models feature subtle decals that include flag motifs and callouts to America's 250th birthday.
• Prices for the package vary, with the Corvette editions costing $9995, while the Colorado and Silverado versions top out at $14,900 and $15,135, respectively.

If the rocket pop–flavored baked beans hadn't tipped you off, plenty of companies are using the occasion of the U.S. of A's 250th birthday to roll out limited-edition patriotic wares. Many harness the power of the red, white, and blue, while others take a more subtle approach. Such is Chevy's take with a run of 250 special-edition Corvettes and packages for its full lineup of pickups.

Sam Curran wants the opportunity to fill the vacancy left by Ben Stokes, but said he will not be putting pressure on himself to make a return to Test cricket.

There’s nothing like having a batch of homemade Garlic Aioli in the fridge to make fries, burgers, sammys, wraps, and roasted veggies instantly better. This budget-friendly aioli is made from scratch in a food processor (not just mayo with garlic stirred in!), and it only takes a handful of basic ingredients to pull together. It’s rich, lightly tangy, and balanced with a touch of honey for a sauce that tastes SO much better than store-bought. It only takes 5 minutes, and I love keeping it on hand for anything that needs a creamy, garlicky boost!
