The space mission RadioAstron (Russian Space Agency) has observed, along with fifteen other radio telescopes distributed around the globe, the environment of the black hole at the core of the active galaxy BL Lacertae

A unique outreach campaign has been launched that will allow the general public to follow scientists from around the globe as they search for an Earth-like exoplanet around the closest star to us, Proxima Centauri. The observing campaign will run from January to April 2016 and will be accompanied by blog posts and social media updates. No one knows what the outcome will be.
