Planets may form differently around tiny Milky Way stars
New Webb data on a protoplanetary disk around ISO-Cha I 147, a very low mass star about 625 light years away, show a carbon-rich gas mix with little water vapor, unlike disks around sunlike stars. Researchers note potential impacts on rocky planet habitability and emphasize VLMS disks favor rocky planets over gas giants.

Cruise eyes restart of driverless robotaxi service in Phoenix
GM unit Cruise resumes supervised autonomous driving in Phoenix as it reopens after last year's San Francisco incident that injured a pedestrian. Pat Morrissey says ongoing safety work relies on real road data and simulations with human drivers present to intervene if needed. Cruise vehicles use modified Chevrolet Bolt EVs with steering wheels and brakes.
