A new multi-band catalog has been released of 10,978 galactic star clusters, associations, and candidates, constructed over 20 years from Digital Sky Survey, 2MASS, WISE, VVV, Spitzer, and Herschel data.

Late Bloomer galaxies — massive galaxies at z < 1 that formed the majority of their stars within ~2 Gyr of the epoch of observation — account for ~20% of z ~ 0.6 galaxies with masses of the modern Milky Way.

A combination of different wind speed measurements for Venus suggest zonal variability possibly associated with solar tides, and variations of up to 30 m/s in the winds at the nightside lower clouds of Venus.

The observed characteristics of the Kepler 1625 system can be explained by the tidal capture of a secondary, Neptune-like planet in the young system that was turned into a moon by its capture.

The binary fractions in Draco and Ursa Minor (~50% and ~78%) suggest that the binary fraction might be larger in dwarf spheroidal galaxies that formed their stars quickly and/or have high velocity dispersions.

Measurements of barium abundances in dwarf galaxies indicate that neutron-star mergers are the most likely source of r-process element production in dwarf galaxies at early times.
