the Alaskan bar-tailed godwit (Limosa lapponica baueri) (Figure 1), makes its eight-day, 11,000-km autumn migration from Alaska to New Zealand in one step, with no stopovers to rest or refuel. This roughly doubles the previous maximum direct flight distance in birds, challenging experts to square this remarkable marathon migration with our understanding of aerodynamic theory and endurance physiology.

"we conclude that HE 0437-5439 was most likely a compact binary ejected by the Milky Way's central black hole" reminds me a bit of Francesco's proposal to get rid of Mercury for the stability of our solar system ... what was the proposal: "get rid of the sucker?"
