Some fun stuff expected in 2016 in astrophysics...

RE: Some fun stuff expected in 2016 in astrophysics...
The neutron star with the planets (3 as I recall) is believed to have formed it's planets during the supernova explosion that turned the prior form of the star inside out and left the compressed lump of neutrons behind.

Not quite a scenario that is going to make the system at Tabby's star.

White dwarfs are screaming bright for their size, but since they are so small, they aren't really that bright comparatively. The one at the Sirius system is extremely hot, but it isn't very bright, it contributes a tiny percentage of the total light there.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
