'Mosh pits' in star clusters a likely source of LIGO's first black holes Posted: 15 Jun 2016 12:18 PM PDT Astrophysicists have shown their theoretical predictions last year were correct: The merger of two massive black holes detected Sept. 14, 2015, could easily have formed through dynamic interactions in the star-dense core of a globular cluster. These binary black holes are born in the cluster's chaotic 'mosh pit,' kicked out of the cluster and then eventually merge into one black hole. LIGO's first detection of colliding black holes is perfectly consistent with their model.

Impact of antibiotic treatment on infant gut microbiome revealed Posted: 15 Jun 2016 12:17 PM PDT A comprehensive analysis of changes in the intestinal microbial population during the first three years of life has revealed some of the impacts of factors such as mode of birth -- vaginal versus cesarean section -- and antibiotic exposure, including the effects of multiple antibiotic treatments.
