Abstract

This article provides a range of updates in the fields of astronomy and geophysics. It covers various topics such as the creation of a statue of astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks, the representation of RAS Journals at a geophysics conference, the UK's involvement in launching satellites for Earth and climate monitoring, and the detection of the most distant fast radio burst. It also discusses the discovery of water and other compounds in a protoplanetary disk, the measurement of infrared aurora at Uranus, and the analysis of orbital drift rates for exoplanets. Additionally, the article mentions a new study suggesting that two 'exomoons' identified orbiting exoplanets may not actually exist, with researchers proposing alternative explanations for the observational data.
