Google Just Revealed What Comes After AGI And It’s Shocking
Google DeepMind just dropped a massive paper called From AGI to ASI, and the message is bigger than another AI release. The paper argues that AGI may not be the finish line everyone is waiting for. It may be the moment the real race begins. Once human-level AI can be copied, sped up, connected into agent teams, and used to build better AI, the jump after AGI could matter even more than AGI itself.

Student astronomer discovers ‘Rosetta Stone’ for mysterious cosmic signals
An international team led by astronomers at the University of Sydney has uncovered the clearest evidence yet for the origin of an unusual class of cosmic signals. In doing so, they have identified a rare stellar system that is providing scientists with a natural laboratory to study extreme physics.
Using CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope, the team discovered a small, dense star, called a white dwarf, shredding material from its larger, but less dense, companion star.
As this material spirals in, it produces powerful bursts of radio waves and X-rays in a cycle that repeats every 1.4 hours.

Reading the Galaxy’s Past
Every galaxy you’ve ever seen in a photograph is hiding something. Beyond the glowing disc of stars and gas that the camera captures lies a vast, ghostly outer region called a halo, too faint to see easily but packed with clues about how that galaxy came to be. ESA has just formally committed to a mission designed to reveal those hidden haloes in unprecedented detail, and in doing so, finally answer one of the most fundamental questions in astronomy: how did galaxies like our own Milky Way form?

Peering into the Milky Way’s far side, Roman could unveil 100,000 worlds
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is poised to make a major leap in the hunt for worlds outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. Scientists expect the mission to reveal around 100,000 worlds—a staggering leap compared to the nearly 6,300 found so far thanks to NASA missions working in tandem with other observatories. And Roman will primarily find them in underexplored regions of the Milky Way.
“Our galaxy is home to a variety of different environments, but when it comes to hunting for exoplanets, we’ve really only explored one: our own neighborhood,” said Elisa Quintana, an exoplanet researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Quintana leads a team focused on building software and simulations to help prepare for Roman’s exoplanet transit observations. “Roman will extend the search far enough to encompass other galactic habitats, which could help us learn how planet formation varies across different regions of the Milky Way.”
Most known exoplanets are located within a couple thousand light-years of Earth. But one of Roman’s core surveys will peer all the way through the Milky Way’s galactic bulge, the central hub where stars are packed more densely than anywhere else, to the fringes of the far side of the galaxy.
Cosmic dawn fuel discovery unlocks early galaxy growth secrets
Astronomers have discovered a huge reservoir of cold molecular gas, the direct fuel for star formation, in REBELS-25, a massive, star-forming galaxy. The team, led from Leiden University, focused on REBELS-25, seen when the universe was only about 700 million years old, around 5% of its current age. The research is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Astronomers use “redshift” to describe this distance, which measures how much the universe’s expansion has stretched a galaxy’s light to redder wavelengths. The higher the redshift, the farther back in time we look. REBELS-25 sits at redshift z = 7.3, deep in the Epoch of Reionization, a key era in which the first stars and galaxies transformed the dark, neutral universe into the universe we see around us today.
Galaxies grow by turning gas into stars, and cold molecular gas is the primary fuel. Until now, astronomers suspected early bright, massive galaxies had huge gas supplies, but no one had directly detected them at these distances.
