We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore a range of captivating stories from the worlds of finance, space exploration, social media, science, and ecology. We begin with a technical glitch at the New York Stock Exchange that caused a momentary plunge in stock prices, including Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway A-shares. Next, we discuss the cancellation of Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa's "dearMoon" mission, which aimed to be the first private flight around the moon, due to delays in SpaceX's Starship rocket development.

Moving on to social media, we celebrate the rise of YouTuber MrBeast, who has officially become the most-subscribed creator on the platform, surpassing the Indian music channel T-Series. In the realm of science, we delve into the discovery of the largest known genome in a tiny fern species called Tmesipteris oblanceolata, found in New Caledonia. Finally, we address the arrival of the invasive yellow-legged hornet in Georgia, USA, and its potential impact on honeybees, agriculture, and the broader ecosystem.
