New simulations suggest that either the rocky planets of our solar system formed in situ very early in our solar system’s history, or they moved outward to their current orbits after forming close to the protosun.

Using time-series data from NEOWISE, 85 new asymptotic giant branch candidate stars are identified as having been misclassified in a catalog of young stellar objects.

Far-infrared photometry of low-metallicity dwarf galaxies with moderate star formation rates reveals low dust masses and cooler dust temperatures than more actively star-forming dwarfs.

New Horizons images of the far side of Pluto’s moon Charon show scarps, ridges, craters, and smooth plains, supporting previous hypotheses of global expansion and large-scale faulting across this icy world.
Yuko Matsushita et al 2021 ApJ 916 23
ALMA observations reveal details of the rotating, high-velocity jet associated with the FIR 6b protostar located in the Orion Molecular Cloud-2, which may be influenced by a magnetized accretion disk wind.
Camilla Scolini et al 2021 ApJL 916 L15
New numerical simulations explore the possibility of analyzing the interaction of coronal mass ejections with solar wind streams using a swarm of radially aligned, simulated spacecraft.
