Guess the Wake-Up Crew Member
Welcome to The Wolverine Wake-Up Guess the Wake-Up Crew Member game, where one of the Crew Members gives a few hints of who they are, and the first student to email Mr. Freeman with the correct guess, earns 5 points for their House! When you think you know who the Crew Member is, you’ll want to send an email to: freemanl@ags-schools.org
The winner will be announced during announcements after lunch on Friday.

The New Apple Airtag-The Humble Tracker With Next-Generation Technology
The new apple airtag is a disc-shaped tracking device. This supports wireless technology with an ultrawideband. This band helps track the airtag whether it's an inch or dozens of feet away. Other trackers roughly guess when something is in range. These could e the next wireless standard that succeeds Bluetooth. The $29 tag can be used to track keys, backpacks, even dogs. When tracking the tile, if it is out of range, you can put it in lost mode. Lost mode allows other iPhones to help find the air tag you lost. The airtags only work for appl products unlike other trackers like tile. When using the tracker, it also points where your lost item is, like a compass. Besides only using them on apple products, other negatives are that they are quiet, and you have to buy a separate accessory to hook the tag on something. These airtags will cause more wireless technology to come in the future though.

New Super Earth
New exoplanet found around the star GJ 740. It is located 36 light years away from earth. It orbits the star every 2.4 days and its mass is around 3 times the mass of Earth. The study is part of the project HADES (HArps-n red Dwarf Exoplanet Survey), in which the IAC is collaborating with the Institut de Ciències de l'Espai (IEEC-CSIC) of Catalonia, and the Italian programme GAPS (Global Architecture of Planetary Systems), whose objective is the detection and characterization of exoplanets round cool stars, in which are being used HARPS-N, on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (Garafía, La Palma). Cool stars are also an ideal target for the search for planets via the radial velocity method. Since the discovery in 1998 of the first radial velocity signal of an exoplanet around a cool star, until now, a total of 116 exoplanets has been discovered around this class of stars using the radial velocity method. "The main difficulty of this method is related to the intense magnetic activity of this type of stars, which can produce spectroscopic signals very similar to those due to an exoplanet," says Jonay I. González Hernández, an IAC researcher who is a co-author of this article. The Kepler mission, recognised at one of the most successful in detecting exoplanets using the transit method (which is the search for small variations in the brightness of a star caused by the transit between it and ourselves of planets orbiting around it), has discovered a total of 156 new planets around cool stars. From its data it has been estimated that this type of stars harbours an average of 2.5 planets with orbital periods of less than 200 days.
