A new analysis of the optical data of galaxies in the foreground of FRB 190608 completes an end-to-end study of matter distribution along a fast radio burst sightline, the first study of its kind.

ALMA has made the first unambiguous detection of cyclopropenylidene, the second known cyclic molecule in Titan’s atmosphere along with benzene and the first time this molecule has been detected in a planetary atmosphere.

Venus’s atmosphere may have collapsed into a runaway greenhouse state due to variations in its orbital eccentricity driven by migration of Jupiter’s orbit in the early history of our solar system.

New high-resolution ALMA observations of galaxy NGC 4402 in the Virgo cluster show some of the clearest evidence yet for the impacts of ram pressure on the molecular interstellar medium of a galaxy.

A few percent of single O-type stars with measured rotational velocities are expected to spin slowly enough at the end of their lifetimes that they will collapse directly into a black hole without producing a visible signal.

New analysis of M-dwarf radial velocity data reveals 10 strong and 3 weak new planet candidates. The wide orbits of these candidates make them ideal targets for direct-imaging followup.
