New high-resolution color maps of Pluto from New Horizons data show the surface color variation — from the red terrain near the equators, to the blue terrain of East Tombaugh Regio, to yellow at the north pole.

ALMA observations of the Vela pulsar — the first pulsar detected with ALMA — indicate that coherent pulsar emission extends to the sub-mm range; transition to incoherent processes occurs at shorter wavelengths.

A gravitationally lensed spiral galaxy, A1689B11, was discovered at redshift z = 2.54. It is the most ancient spiral galaxy discovered to date and the second kinematically confirmed spiral at z > 2.

A catalog of spectroscopic and asteroseismic data is presented for a sample of 415 Kepler dwarf and subgiant stars, and stellar properties are inferred from the data and compared to other sources.

Citizen-scientist identification of 25 new candidate hybrid morphology radio sources — rare galaxies that display different Fanaroff–Riley classes on opposite sides of their nuclei — reveal this to be a diverse class.

Doubling in 41/44 GHz flux density on ~20-minute timescales was observed in the magnetar SGR J1745−29 — consistent with a model in which pulsed emission is generated in the magnetar’s magnetosphere.
