The European Southern Observatory (ESO) will announce an "unprecedented discovery" on Monday:
ESO will hold a press conference on 16 October 2017 at 16:00 CEST, at its Headquarters in Garching, Germany, to present groundbreaking observations of an astronomical phenomenon that has never been witnessed before.
[...] By registering for the conference, journalists agree to honour an embargo, details of which will be provided after registration, and not to publish or discuss any of the material presented before the start of the conference on 16 October 2017 at 16:00 CEST.
LEAK IT!
Update: The announcement will be related to gravitational waves, and may involve a neutron star collision, which would also be visible using optical methods.

Interestingly, this is how the US system of government was supposed to work. Back before all the presidential power grabs, Congress wrote the laws and made the decisons. Congress has the power to declare war, make treaties, set budgets, etc. The President was a figurehead for dealing with foreign powers and ceremonial functions, but had very little autocratic power.
Maybe Trump is secretly a strict constitutionalist, and is trying to get Congress to take back the power and responsibility that they should be exercising. If so, expect him to get more and more outrageous until Congress are forced into doing their jobs. Should be fun to watch.
