The Antarctic Plateau is a great place for observing — even during the day; preliminary observations suggest that bright transients like nearby supernovae can be spotted from the site during the daytime.
Laboratory experiments show that the amino acid glycine preferentially associates with salt phases rather than water ice, suggesting that salt-rich ices could be targeted in a search for organic molecules.
The masses of 1,120 galaxy candidates at redshifts of 6.5 < z < 13.5 are consistent with existing cosmological models, though some of the most massive galaxies may require a high star-formation efficiency.
A detailed study of the eruption of a multifilament system on the Sun shows how three filaments in different configurations combined to form one long filament and a double-decker configuration.
A low-complexity statistical process helps to vet potential technosignature signals, weeding out obvious human-originated radio interference and highlighting interfering signals that are less obvious.

Though more work is needed to say for certain, including the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility from Landau quantization may provide a solution to the magnetar heating problem.
