    Observable Universe contains ten times more galaxies than previously thought
    http://phys.org/news/2016-10-universe-ten-galaxies-previously-thought.html

    Astronomers using data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescopes and other telescopes have performed an accurate census
    of the number of galaxies in the Universe. The group came to the surprising conclusion that there are at least 10 times
    as many galaxies in the observable Universe as previously thought. The results have clear implications for our understanding
    of galaxy formation, and also help solve an ancient astronomical paradox—why is the sky dark at night?

    Chicxulub 'dinosaur crater' investigation begins in earnest - BBC News
    http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-37625348

    Scientists have obtained remarkable new insights into the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.
    They have been examining rocks from the crater that the 15km-wide space object dug out of what is now the Gulf
    of Mexico some 66 million years ago.
    The team says it can see evidence in these materials for how life returned to the scene soon after the calamity.
    Descendants of these small organisms are likely thriving today in amongst the crater's smashed up materials.
    The international project has shipped the hundreds of metres it drilled from beneath the Gulf floor earlier
    this year to the MARUM Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, at the University of Bremen, Germany.
    It is here that the cores are being catalogued, analysed and archived.

    Cosmological mystery solved by largest ever map of voids and superclusters
    http://m.phys.org/news/2016-10-cosmological-mystery-largest-voids-superclusters.html

    A team of astrophysicists at the University of Portsmouth have created the largest ever map
    of voids and superclusters in the universe, which helps solve a long-standing cosmological mystery.

    The map of the positions of cosmic voids – large empty spaces which contain relatively few galaxies –
    and superclusters – huge regions with many more galaxies than normal – can be used to measure the effect
    of dark energy 'stretching' the universe.

    The results confirm the predictions of Einstein's theory of gravity.

    Scientists studied the ingredients of carbon chemistry in the Orion Nebula, the closest star-forming region to Earth that forms massive stars.
    They mapped the amount, temperature and motions of the carbon-hydrogen molecule (CH, or "methylidyne" to chemists), the carbon-hydrogen positive
    ion (CH+) and their parent: the carbon ion (C+). An ion is an atom or molecule with an imbalance of protons and electrons, resulting in a net charge.

    Space in Images - 2016 - 10 - Simulated view of Schiaparelli’s descent images
    http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2016/10/Simulated_view_of_Schiaparelli_s_descent_images

    Simulated sequence of the 15 images that the descent camera on the ExoMars Schiaparelli module should take during its descent to the surface of Mars
    on 19 October 2016. The camera will start taking images about one minute after the front shield has been jettisoned. In the simulated images shown here,
    this corresponds to the first image being taken from an altitude of about 3 km. The camera takes images every 1.5 seconds: the final image in this
    simulated sequence is at ~1.5 km, but depending on Schiaparelli’s actual descent speed on the day, the final image may be acquired closer to the surface.

    How Deadly Would a Nearby Gamma Ray Burst Be? - Astrobiology Magazine
    http://www.astrobio.net/news-exclusive/deadly-nearby-gamma-ray-burst/
    A new paper, titled “Ground-Level Ozone Following Astrophysical Ionizing Radiation Events – An Additional Biological Hazard?”
    published in the journal Astrobiology took a look at the ramifications of a nearby GRB or supernova and the effects on life.
    The research was funded by the Exobiology and Evolutionary Biology element of the NASA Astrobiology Program.

    Possible signal in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data
    Breakthrough Listen ​ at UC Berkeley to conduct follow up observations of reported anomalous spectral features in solar type stars.
    https://seti.berkeley.edu/bl_sdss_seti_2016.pdf

    A recent paper entitled “Discovery of peculiar periodic spectral modulations in a small fraction of solar type stars” by Borra and Trottier (2016),
    Université Laval, Quebec, reports the detection of periodic spectral modulations in 234 out of 2.5 million stars observed by the Sloan Digital Sky
    Survey (SDSS). Authors Borra and Trottier state that the signal is consistent with a prediction from an earlier paper by Borra, for signals from
    extraterrestrial civilizations broadcasting extremely rapid (shorter than 0.1 nanoseconds) optical pulses superimposed on the light of the host stars.

    Proxima Centauri Might Be More Sunlike Than We Thought2016-25 | www.cfa.harvard.edu/
    https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/2016-25

    In August astronomers announced that the nearby star Proxima Centauri hosts an Earth-sized planet (called Proxima b)
    in its habitable zone. At first glance, Proxima Centauri seems nothing like our Sun. It's a small, cool, red dwarf star
    only one-tenth as massive and one-thousandth as luminous as the Sun. However, new research shows that it is sunlike in
    one surprising way: it has a regular cycle of starspots.

    Astronomers May Have Discovered 24 New ‘Hot Earth’ Exoplanet Star Systems | Inverse
    https://www.inverse.com/article/22003-astronomers-24-hot-earth-exoplanet-star-systems

    News of exoplanet discoveries keeps rolling in. Astronomers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and NASA Ames Research Center
    in Moffatt Field, California, analyzing new exoplanet data collected through by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, have just identified
    a population of at least 24 new exoplanet star systems that could possess what are called “hot Earths.”

    The new findings, reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are illustrative of a star system
    formation that results in a very unique form of planetary architecture.
