Accretion-disk modeling plus long-term data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) of the eruptive star V582 Aur suggest this source is fading and will reach the quiescent level in ~80 yr.

Dark vortices on Neptune are explored over 25 years of HST data, demonstrating that dark spots have average occurrence rates of one dark spot every 4–6 years, and each spot typically has a lifetime of 1–6 years.

A comparative study of the 2012 July and 2017 July solar eruptions suggests that superstorms are “perfect storms” in nature, i.e., a combination of circumstances results in an event of an unusual magnitude.
