    Astronomers traced a gamma-ray burst (GRB) to the heart of an ancient galaxy. In the dense, busy environment surrounding the galaxy’s supermassive black hole, two stars or stellar remnants likely collided to generate the GRB. This unexpected GRB source offers a new understanding of how stars can meet their demise.

    Magnetotactic bacteria, which can align with the Earth’s magnetic field, have been discovered in a new location. Previously observed on land and in shallow water, analysis of a hydrothermal vent has proven that they can also survive deep under the ocean. The bacteria were able to exist in an environment that was not ideal for their typical needs. Magnetotactic bacteria are of interest not only…
