Did blue monster galaxies in the early universe sweep away their dust?
Massive blue galaxies in the early universe present a dusty puzzle. Is the dust in these galaxies being ejected, or is it squirreled away in giant molecular clouds?
Have we found the origins of fast radio bursts?
Today’s authors propose a theory to explain at least some fast radio bursts. And the data looks pretty convincing! Read on to hear exactly what it entails.
