  exception in assets to work with. In top news,
• 5:51
  researchers studying the universe's pink planet
• 5:54
  have discovered an unexpected feature in its
• 5:57
  atmosphere, clouds made of salt. A team of astronomers
• 6:01
  led by Northwestern University utilized the James
• 6:05
  Webb Space Telescope to identify a salty cloud
• 6:08
  atmosphere unlike anything previously observed.
• 6:11
  The findings were published Thursday in the Astronomical
• 6:15
  Journal. The pink planet, formerly known as GJ
• 6:19
  504b, is not technically a planet, but a planetary
• 6:23
  mass companion. It orbits a sun -like star located
• 6:27
  57 light -years from Earth. and has a temperature
• 6:31
  of 550 degrees Fahrenheit. Anish Fabraj, the
• 6:36
  study leader, expressed surprise at the existence
• 6:38
  of these clouds at such temperatures. The Webb
• 6:42
  telescope's capability allowed researchers to
• 6:45
  capture the planet's faint light, revealing elements
• 6:48
  like water vapor, methane, and salt clouds. Babaraj
• 6:53
  noted that the powerful telescope enables the
• 6:56
  detection of colder atmospheric conditions for
• 6:59
  future research. In business news, Wednesday's
• 7:04
  Federal Open Market Committee statement shows
• 7:07
  the Federal Reserve is entering a new era under
• 7:10
  Chairman Kevin Warsh. The statement contained
• 7:13
  around 130 words, down from over 300 in recent
• 7:18
  meetings, according to a CNBC analysis. Warsh
• 7:22
  acknowledged a difference in the statement during
• 7:24
  his first press conference, noting it had no
• 7:28
  forward guidance, as it was not well -suited
• 7:30
  for the current policy conjuncture. He emphasized
• 7:34
  that the statement is a bit shorter, a bit simpler,
• 7:37
  and focuses on the facts. This change is seen
• 7:41
  as part of the regime change Warsh has promised
• 7:44
  for the central bank. In crypto movement, Bitcoin
• 7:49

  back to the show. Let's talk tech. Microsoft
• 8:56
  says it has detected new self -propagating malware,
• 8:59
  which spreads through USB drives in search of
• 9:03
  cryptocurrency credentials. This malware, named
• 9:06
  CryptoClipper, monitors clipboard contents for
• 9:09
  wallet addresses or seed phrases. When it finds
• 9:13
  these, it takes five screenshots over a 10 -second
• 9:16
  period. sending both the credentials and screenshots
• 9:19
  to attackers through Tor. Microsoft noted, the
• 9:23
  execution of this Clipper is notable because
• 9:26
  it does not depend on a traditional installer
• 9:29
  or exposed IP -based command and control infrastructure.
• 9:34
  Instead, it uses a portable Tor client at a local
• 9:37
  SoFiCast 5 proxy. Crypto Clipper spreads through
• 9:41
  long files on USB drives, downloading itself
• 9:45
  if not already installed. And in entertainment
• 9:51
  news, the Cold War remains a compelling backdrop
• 9:55
  for historical drama, and Apple TV series Star
• 9:59
  City illustrates this point vividly. Set in an
• 10:03
  alternate history where the Soviets reached the
• 10:05
  moon first, the series diverges from its predecessor
• 10:08
  for all mankind while maintaining its own identity.
• 10:13
  Although it shares characters like Anastasia
• 10:15
  Velikova, Star City builds its own compelling
• 10:19
  narrative. With comparisons to the acclaimed
• 10:22
  The Americans, Star City balances for all mankind's
• 10:26
  optimism with a gritty espionage thriller vibe,
• 10:30
  exploring the challenges faced by its characters
• 10:32
  under the Soviet state's watchful eye. Well,
• 10:37
  alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the
• 10:40
  day. And today, Our quote comes from the American
• 10:44
  civil rights leader and activist Frederick Douglass.
• 10:48
  And he said, If there is no struggle, there is
• 10:52
  no progress. This reminds us that the path to
• 10:55
