A Design Flaw in Share Links Exposes Users’ Personal Conversations With Meta’s Muse

Muse, the new general-purpose AI agent from Meta, can expose sensitive information when users share conversations through web links, researchers reported Monday. In response to questions from Ars about the behavior, Meta said it’s suspending the sharing feature while the company reviews it and considers making changes. Like many online services, Muse has allowed users to share searches, conversations, images, and similar content with other people.

Archaeologists May Have Solved the Mystery of a Roman Sarcophagus Excavated at Westminster Abbey in 1869

Stanley detailed his study of the sarcophagus in an 1870 journal article. Although the coffin bore a Latin inscription apparently dated to the Roman occupation of Britain, its lid featured a large cross that was more consistent with the early medieval period, hundreds of years later. In the century and a half since the coffin was first excavated, scholars have offered varying explanations for its presence in the abbey, where only a few other Roman artifacts have been found.

NASA's CASALS instrument bridges gaps in 3D maps of Earth's surface

A team of researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has developed a new instrument designed to eliminate blind spots between lines of lidar data on Earth's surface. Built with support from NASA's Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO), the Concurrent Artificially-intelligent Spectrometry Lidar System (CASALS) could help researchers map the features of Earth's surface in detail.

Japan launches mission to bring home a piece of the Martian moon Phobos

Japan launched a $578 million mission Monday on a five-year expedition to land on the largest moon of Mars and retrieve samples for return to Earth, a daring international project that could yield new insights into the formation of the Solar System. The robotic Martian Moons eXploration mission, known as MMX, lifted off at 3:41 pm EDT Monday (4:41 am Japan Standard Time Tuesday) from Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan.

A magnetar can be born when two neutron stars touch

All neutron stars have intense magnetic fields. The typical magnetic field of a neutron star is about 100,000 times stronger than the strongest magnetic fields we can create on Earth. But about 1% of neutron stars have even stronger magnetic fields.

The 1

Two reports: Ars Technica Space and Phys.org Space

Ars Technica Space reports: Japan launched a $578 million mission Monday on a five-year expedition to land on the largest moon of Mars and retrieve samples for return to Earth, a daring international project that could yield new insights into the formation of the Solar System. Phys.org Space reports: All neutron stars have intense magnetic fields. The two reports share a subject but not a single event, so read them as two angles rather than one story. This review only restates what each source published. It does not add facts or opinions. Read both and decide for yourself.
