  • The British philosopher Mary Midgley once remarked that philosophy is like plumbing: you don’t notice it until things start to smell funny. And astronomers are beginning to sniff the air. As AI transforms astronomical research, scientists are confronting foundational philosophical questions about the nature of discovery and understanding — questions that call for collaboration with philosophers of science.

  • Binary stars with orbital periods of less than a day show magnetic activity beyond the saturation limit of single stars. This enhanced activity is probably driven by a large-scale α–ω dynamo during common-envelope evolution.

  • The adage that ideas are cheap in astronomy, with execution being paramount, may already be obsolete. The impact of large language models (LLMs) on research looms on the horizon, compelling the astronomy community to reevaluate the very metrics of merit, the definition of research identity and methodology, and the foundations of education.

  • Low-mass stars are expected to destroy their lithium content as they evolve, but this study of stars in the red clump evolutionary stage shows that their lithium abundance is on average forty times greater than at the end of the previous stage, something not predicted by theory.
