*Neutron stars confirmed as sources of ultraluminous X-rays
Astronomers have confirmed neutron stars as one of the sources of ultraluminous X rays – powerful beams shining with the light of millions of Suns. The findings have gone some way to solving a long standing galactic mystery.
*Evolution of the Milky Way galaxy
A new study claims some stars around our galaxy previously thought to be remnants of galaxies that had been cannibalised by the Milky Way -- are instead likely to have once been part of the Milky Way itself before being pulled away by another galaxy. The findings show how the gravitational tidal forces interacting between galaxies as they pass close to each other work both ways resulting in the creation of tidal streams of stars.

*The strange dense structure discovered below the South Atlantic Anomaly
A strange dense structure has been discovered directly below the South Atlantic Anomaly and just above the Earth’s core mantle boundary. The object may provide important clues about the Earth’s magnetic field and when it’s next likely to reverse polarity.
*New gravity mission to monitor climate change
NASA’s next Earth Gravity mission is slated to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on April 14. The twin GRACE-FO spacecraft will continue the work of the original GRACE mission, monitoring how climate change caused by man’s use of fossil fuels was affecting the planet.
*New exotic state of matter created
Scientists have provided proof for a new state of matter comprising an electron orbiting an atomic nucleus at such a great distance – the space between the two can contain other bound atoms. The discovery raises new questions about the definition of an atom.
