A Real-Life 'Star Wars' Discovery, Einstein Vindicated Again, and Solving a Deadly 4000-Year-Old Mystery

This week in news from The Debrief, researchers analyzing old telescope images have identified a "Star Wars-style" world orbiting two suns -- one of several suspicious objects hinting that our catalog of unusual exoplanets is far from complete. Meanwhile, physicists observed a black hole twisting spacetime itself, capturing the elusive effect Einstein predicted more than a century ago and offering what one researcher called "a real gift for physicists." And on Earth, scientists studying ancient DNA have solved a longstanding mystery about a 4,000-year-old Bronze Age plague, revealing how an early strain -- distinct from the later Black Death -- once swept across Europe.
