The first time that an "exploding pulsar" was a slow-pulsating transient pulsar

The University of Southampton, Great Britain, discovered that a unique "exploding pulsar" - a neutron star that "pulls" matter from a companion star - may also be the slowest transient pulsar known to science. Transient pulsars are a rare class of neutron stars that perform transitions from x-ray to radio pulsations and back for several years.

The helium for the first time on a planet outside of our solar system

The international teams of astronomers have detected helium in the atmosphere of WASP-107b. It is the first time that this chemical element has been detected in the atmosphere of an exoplanet.

The astronomers, led by Jessica Spake, of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, used
