In the year of its 75th anniversary, the Max Planck Society convenes in Göttingen, the birthplace of the Society, for a truly remarkable annual meeting, coinciding with a change in the presidency.

When the astronauts of the Apollo 11 mission returned to Earth, they had almost 22 kilograms of rock from the surface of the moon in their baggage. Josef Zähringer from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg was one of the first researchers allowed to analyze the material in the US. Two months later, Heinrich Wänke’s team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz also received a grain.

The distributed volunteer computing project Einstein@Home finds a rapidly neutron star in an exotic binary system using data from NASA’s Fermi Space Telescope. The neutron star is visible as a gamma-ray pulsar called PSR J2039-5617.

Using a unique new data set, Maosheng Xiang and Hans-Walter Rix (both Max Planck Institute for Astronomy) have provided the best reconstruction yet of what could be termed the exciting teenage years of our home galaxy: the period between about 13 and 8 billion years ago when the Milky Way lived hard and fast, merging with other galaxies and consuming plenty of hydrogen to form new stars – before settling down to a more quiet life for the subsequent 8 billion years to the present. The analysis became possible through reconstructing stellar ages of Milky Way stars with unprecedented precision, drawing on recent sky survey data. The results have now been published in the journal Nature.

In diesem Interview erklärt Tobias Grimm von Munich Re, welche Rolle der Rückversicherer bei der Bekämpfung der Folgen des Klimawandels spielt, wie viel die extremen Auswirkungen des Klimawandels kosten, warum es neben Anpassung auch Vermeidung weiterer Ausstöße von Treibhausgasen braucht und wie der Wandel hin zu einer lebenswerten Zukunft gelingen kann.

The LIGO Scientific and the Virgo Collaborations publish an updated catalog of gravitational wave signals. The researchers have discovered 39 new signals from merging black holes and neutron stars in the first six months of the third observation run, several from unusual sources.
More information is available on the Virgo website at http://www.virgo-gw.eu.

In large swathes of Germany’s industrial Ruhr Valley region, coal mining is a thing of the past as is true in other European coalfields. But people in the affected regions continue to be hard hit by the associated job losses, as jobs not only secured their livelihoods, but also created a sense of community. At the Max Planck Institute for Human Development Julia Wambach is looking into what replaced worker solidarity and has come across two committed football clubs: FC Schalke 04 and the French club RC Lens.
On their website, Schalke 04 explains: „In combination with the unique solidarity
