Galaxies have a voracious appetite for fuel — in this case, fresh gas — but astronomers have had difficulty finding the pristine gas that should be falling onto galaxies.

Unfortunately life, as in the law, is not always that simple. If both of the parties are new to Pennsylvania or the parties live in separate counties in the Commonwealth, there is some room for negotiation as to where the divorcecase ...
