Galactic Tails tell Galactic Tales – and this one is a Strange Tail Indeed
Today’s authors discovered a very long, very odd galactic tail, and discuss what that means for its origin and for the history of the galax(ies) involved!

How can we use the demise of an unlucky star to learn about binary supermassive black holes? Today’s paper answers that very question!
In today’s paper: how does tidal dissipation and gravitational wave emission affect the result of encounters between stars and black hole binaries in stellar clusters?
What happens when a star swings too close to a black hole?
A newly discovered stellar stream may be the long-searched for tidal debris from the Milky Way’s largest globular cluster.
Some of the most interesting structures on galactic scales are formed via tidal interactions. Today’s paper arrives at some unexpected conclusions about which types of galaxies are most likely to host such tidal features.
