A coronal mass ejection may have been the cause of the observed continuous X-ray absorption of the 1997 August 30 superflare on the eclipsing binary Algol (known as the Demon Star).

LSST’s high-cadence, deep optical photometry will combine well with Euclid’s high-resolution optical photometry and near-IR photometry and spectroscopy to address a wide range of astrophysical questions.

Dedicated campaigns should be undertaken to measure the atmospheres of the nine transiting Earth-sized planets around nearby late-M dwarfs; they are strong candidates for measurements with JWST.

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.
