Detailed analysis of the orbital stability of the HD 181433 planetary system suggest previous measurements of its orbital properties may be incorrect; a different system architecture is necessary for it to be stable.

Measurements of abundances in dwarf-galaxy satellites of the Milky Way suggest that the dominant type of supernova Ia in ancient dwarf galaxies is the explosion of a sub-Chandrasekhar-mass white dwarf.

New photometric and spectroscopic data of main-belt asteroid (6478) Gault favor a compositional affinity between Gault and asteroid (25) Phocaea and rule out a compositional link with the Tamara family.

Gravitational scattering among planets in a system, combined with a close flyby of another star, may generate a population of “Oort” exoplanets that orbit at wide distances of 100 to 5,000 AU.

This review summarizes the origins and evolution of the burgeoning field of exoplanet climatology, work to identify those planets most capable of supporting life, and offers a glimpse into future directions of the field.

New observations suggest at least some Green Peas — compact, highly star-forming dwarf galaxies — produce copious amounts of highly energetic photons, larger than detected in other star-forming galaxies.
