Neoteric astrophysics research documents 11 galaxies
each with two super-massive black holes at their centres
(most galaxies have only one): these new data enhance knowledge of how and why binary black hole systems emerge (e.g. via galactic collision)
Neoteric astrophysics research reveals luminescence from a neutron star (16,000 Light Years away from Earth) that provides data of when the collapsed core was only 240 years old: this enhances scientific knowledge of the evolution and dynamics of neutron stars
