The Probable Direct-Imaging Detection of the Stellar Companion to Betelgeuse: [oops, the paper will only go on ArXiv tonight and appear in ApJL on 24 July] -> Gemini North Discovers Long-Predicted Stellar Companion of Betelgeuse: #Betelgeuse, solving millennia-old mystery. The picture here is from the actual paper which has been sent to me ... compare it to the spiced-up version in the press release! The authors themselves say it's only a 1.5 sigma detection but because it fits the expectations for a 'Betel buddy' so well, they believe it.

“Therefore, because baby loves baby, baby must be me.”
https://blog.jle.im/entry/the-baby-paradox-in-haskell.html

The Baby Paradox in Haskell
Everybody Loves My Baby is a Jazz Standard from 1924 with the famous lyric: Everybody loves my baby, but my baby don’t love nobody but me. Which is often formalized as: \begin{align} \text{Axiom}_1 . & \forall x. \text{Loves}(x, \text{Baby}) \\ \text{Axiom}_2 . \forall x. & \text{Loves}(\text{Baby}, x) \implies x = me \end{align} Let’s prove in Haskell (in one line) that these two statements, taken together, imply that I am my own baby.
