Sandra Chapman reports in The Astrophysical Journal that solar maxima end in a sharp sunspot cutoff whose count predicts the next cycle, and her own forecast for Cycle 26 follows the drop she expects in 2028.

Stephen Kane let hypothetical moons evolve around a Venus that turns once every 243 Earth days, and in most runs they spiralled inward and hit the planet. He says Venus needed no catastrophe to end up moonless.

Zihao Wu and colleagues report a candidate overdensity of 18 galaxies at a redshift of about 10.5 in JWST's JADES survey, with photometric hints that the group has cleared an ionized bubble roughly 6 comoving megaparsecs in radius.

Eleanor Cornish and Tyler Robinson put a wind-roughened ocean into the rfast atmospheric tool and found the specular flash still separable from a dry planet at 120 degrees, ten degrees below earlier estimates.

Astronomers scheduled an X-ray observation to land on a predicted outburst of AT 2016blu and saw emission consistent with accretion onto a compact companion. It is the first luminous blue variable reported with such a partner.

Five papers in The Astrophysical Journal report the helium made in the universe's first five minutes with 0.5% uncertainty, three times tighter than the previous standard, from 15 chemically pristine dwarf galaxies.

The Carnegie Mellon team has released a 13.5-billion-year hydrodynamic run that ends at the present day, which lets JWST's crowd of early massive black holes be tested against a model that also has to produce a recognizable today.

A SPHERE/VLT detection at 6 sigma places a faint companion at the separation two papers predicted for December 2024. Confirmation waits on catching it on the far side.

Push the Saguaro galaxy's arms below Webb's detection limit and what is left looks like a little red dot, according to a study published on July 29 in The Astrophysical Journal.
