Of the 68 brown dwarfs identified in a recent study, 12 are newly discovered and two are more than 5 kiloparsecs away, making them the most distant known brown dwarfs in our galaxy.

Examination of SN 2023ixf’s light curve has led to the identification of 2–3 potential ejecta shells, which the authors attribute to stochastic jet launching by the newborn neutron star.

Excluding the low-surface-brightness outskirts of low-mass galaxies due to surface-brightness detection limits leads to overestimates of central dark matter densities and virial masses.

Sixty-four new irregular moons of Saturn have been discovered, and analysis of all 122 irregular moons supports the theory that the Mundilfari subgroup was formed by a collision less than 100 million years ago.

Simulated Population III star relics residing in the Milky Way formed from z = 22 to z = 4 and make up about 1 in every 50,000 stars, with the galactic halo hosting the largest fraction of this population.

Archaeology and astronomy combine in this study of the earliest datable account of a solar eclipse, which took place in Qūfù and includes a report of a yellowish structure that is likely the solar K-corona.
