Astrobites explores the possible reasons why one magnetar is emitting bursts of energetic radio waves.
A new study explores whether a red edge in a planet’s reflected light could be used to identify life beyond Earth.
An avenue for understanding the occurrence of binary neutron stars is to carefully study their host galaxies. And one way to be sure a galaxy hosts binary neutron stars is to observe a neutron star merger happen there.
A new study explores whether tidally locked, habitable planets run the risk of experiencing sudden, global-scale ice ages.

Scientists have found a new complex molecule in the hazy atmosphere of Saturn’s largest moon.
Meet the AAS Lead Editor for the Interstellar Matter and the Local Universe corridor! Here’s how she got started in her field, and what she thinks the future holds.
Data from thousands of solar flares could reveal a lot about how the Sun works — but only if we’re interpreting them correctly.
Astrobites explores whether planets can form in the brutal environment surrounding an active supermassive black hole.
How has galaxy evolution changed over our universe’s history? New observations of evasive gas provide clues.
To constrain models of planetary formation, we need to know what sorts of planets can form. So which ones do?
