Each week, the cosmos produces more knowledge than any single mind can hold — and so the work of curation becomes its own form of science. Phys.org's Saturday Citations column performs this quiet labor, gathering the week's most meaningful space research into a readable map for the curious but non-specialist reader. It is not the first to report discoveries, but it may be among the first to make them legible — placing individual findings within the larger, slower movement of human understanding outward into the universe.
