Blue straggler stars in old open clusters predominantly appear near the terminal-age main sequence because mass transfer from asymptotic giant branch donors enriches their cores with helium.
Oblique shocks in massive star clusters accelerate cosmic rays to multi-PeV energies, reproducing the LHAASO-observed knee as a sequence of rigidity-dependent cutoffs from combined supernova and wind shocks.
Student teams at an ESO school obtained spectroscopic and photometric data on binary stars and blue stragglers, confirming alignment due to tides, cluster membership via abundances, delta Scuti pulsation, and a binary central star in a planetary nebula.
