The best candidates of exomoon-hosting planets are identified from the Kepler database on the basis of dynamical arguments, producing a list of 54 planets with putative “visible” satellites.

Historical auroral records from East Asia suggest that the great geomagnetic storm of 1872 February was as extreme as the Carrington Event, the benchmark geomagnetic storm of 1859 September.

The James Webb Space Telescope should be able to detect a large number of the infrared coronal lines predicted from the theorized intermediate-mass black holes (black holes with mass 100–100,000 M⊙).

In a new model of the early universe, star formation is ignited in low-mass halos by a passing shock front in cosmic filaments that is self-sustained by energy injection from supernova explosions.

New high resolution imaging of a light-scattering dust ring and halo around the young star HD 35841 reveal the highly inclined (i = 85°) ring of debris down to a projected separation of ~12 AU for the first time.

CRLE, a serendipitously discovered dusty, starbursting galaxy at z = 5.667, is the highest-redshift, most luminous starburst in the COSMOS field, forming stars at a rate of at least 1500 M_⊙/yr in a region only ~3 kpc across.
