The discovery of the first strongly lensed quasar at z > 6 indicates the potential presence of a substantial population of lensed z > 6 quasars misclassified and mixed up with low-z galaxies.

Estimates suggest that the upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will be able to detect ~10,000 superluminous supernovae per year with more than 10 data points each.

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.
