Sometimes how news is reported is as much of a story as the stories in that news. Today is that day. I talk about the way two different results are communicated: the discovery of a neutron transitioning from being an x-ray binary to being a millisecond-pulsar, and the observation that the Sombrero Galaxy has a high proportion of metal-rich stars in its halo, indicating it underwent a major merger. We also note that the Planet Finder Spectrograph on the HET is now up and doing science.
