• NASA's NICER Mission Finds an X-ray Pulsar in a Record-fast Orbit (11 May 2018)
  Scientists analyzing the first data from the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission have found two stars that revolve around each other every 38 minutes. The discovery bestows the stellar pair with the record for the shortest-known orbital period for a certain class of pulsar binary system.
