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.

The Nautilus concept is based on an array of inflatable spacecraft carrying very large diameter (8.5 m), very low weight lenses, enabling the characterization of 1,000 transiting exo-Earth candidates.

Models of angular momentum transport in massive evolving stars suggest that black holes born from single stars rotate very slowly (a < 0.01) regardless of the initial rotation rate.

A systematic analysis of all high-energy neutrino events satisfying the IceCube realtime trigger criteria found a gamma-ray blazar, GB6 J1040+0617, in spatial coincidence with a neutrino from this sample.

ALMA sub-mm observations of HCN and HC3N are consistent with contemporaneous Cassini infrared data, demonstrating the use of ALMA to continue Cassini’s legacy for chemical and climatological studies of Titan’s atmosphere.
