SUNSET: 
The Black Hole Files with Camille Carlisle
Odd Jets Might Signal Dual Black Holes
Off-kilter, curved, and otherwise unusual beams of plasma from galaxies’ cores might track the dueling dances of two supermassive black holes.
Ancient Merger Wreckage in the Milky Way
Mounting evidence indicates that our galaxy smashed up another smaller galaxy roughly 10 billion years ago.
Source for Europa Geysers Missing
A new look at old data suggests there’s something missing from suspected plumes on Europa: a heat source.
Jupiter’s Magnetic Field Has Weird Structure
Juno observations reveal that Jupiter’s magnetic field has a wacky plume.
Star Swings Around Black Hole, Tests Gravity
Astronomers have seen a star’s light redden as it passed our galaxy’s central black hole, just as general relativity predicts.
Black Hole Destroys Star and Shoots Jet
Astronomers have watched the growth of a jet fueled by a shredded star.
The Black Hole Files with Camille Carlisle
Science Fiction Wormholes Don’t Exist
Hoping for faster-than-light travel? Wormholes aren't the paths you're looking for.
More Mystery Objects in the Galactic Center
Astronomers have discovered three more red, dusty objects near the Milky Way’s central black hole that could be merged stars.
A Galaxy Without (Much) Dark Matter
Astronomers have found a peculiar object: a fluffy galaxy that has little to no dark matter.
Amazing Storms, Jet Streams on Jupiter
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has found breathtaking cyclones at Jupiter’s poles and probed how deep the planet’s jet streams go.
Extra Stars Might Downsize Exoplanets
Follow-up studies of candidates planetary systems found by NASA’s Kepler mission suggest that companion stars make some worlds appear smaller than they really are.
Some Plants Grow Well in Martian Soil
Astrobiology students cultivated leafy greens, sweet potatoes, and even hops in simulated Martian dirt.
Ringed Disks Don’t Always Mean Planets
Astronomers presenting at the winter American Astronomical Society meeting caution that the features often pointed to as evidence of growing natal planets could form on their own.
First Black Holes Maybe Had Supersonic Help
Gas flows in the early universe may have kept clouds from collapsing too soon, enabling them to grow into massive black hole seeds.
New Map of Water in Moon Dust
A new analysis maps out water across the lunar surface, revealing how its abundance changes with latitude.
New Age Estimate for TRAPPIST-1
A new study suggests that the seven-planet dwarf star could be much older than the Sun.
Sun's Waves Reveal Core's Spin
Solar astronomers may have finally detected gravity waves in our star’s core, revealing that the Sun’s central region rotates about four times faster than the outer layers.
Exoplanet Might Have Ozone-like Layer
Astronomers have potentially detected a stratosphere in the atmosphere of a hot Jupiter.
Milky Way May Be Made with Swapped Gas
High-powered simulations suggest that half of the material in the Milky Way could come from other galaxies.
LIGO Detects Third Black Hole Merger
Scientists with the gravitational-wave observatory announce another discovery, this time of a black hole merger twice as far away as previous detections.
