How to Weigh a Killer Asteroid at 22 Kilometers per Second

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on March 2, 2026 at 4:19 pm

Estimating a mass for a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) is perhaps the single most important thing to understand about it, after its trajectory. Actually doing so isn’t easy though, as the mass for objects in the tens to hundreds of kilometers in size are too small to have their mass calculated by traditional radio-frequency tracking techniques. A new paper from Justin Atchison of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and his co-authors proposes a method that could find the mass of asteroids even on the smaller end of that range, but will require precise coordination.

Predicting the Sun’s Most Violent Outbursts

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on March 2, 2026 at 9:38 am

In the first four days of February this year the Sun unleashed six powerful X-class flares in rapid succession including an X8.1 that was the strongest in several years. And now, scientists have announced a new forecasting system that could give us up to a year’s warning before the most dangerous solar storms arrive. The extraordinary thing is that the system has already been proved right by eruptions nobody knew about until after the forecast was made.

How Long Do Civilisations Last?

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on March 2, 2026 at 9:25 am

In 1950, the physicist Enrico Fermi sat down to lunch with colleagues and asked a question that has haunted astronomers ever since. If the universe is so vast, so old, and so full of stars, where is everybody? A new study has turned that question around and come up with an answer that is quietly unsettling. If intelligent life is common in the Galaxy, the mathematics suggests it cannot last very long.

What the Moon Rocks Were Hiding

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on March 2, 2026 at 9:25 am

The rocks that twelve astronauts carried home from the Moon fifty years ago have just rewritten our understanding of lunar history. A new analysis of Apollo samples has finally resolved one of the most stubborn debates in planetary science and the answer turns out to be one that neither side of the argument was entirely right about.

Laser-Based 3D Printing Could Build Future Bases on the Moon

by Matthew Williams (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/houseofwilliams) on March 2, 2026 at 12:16 am

Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. Using a special laser 3D printing method, researchers melted fake lunar soil—a synthetic version of the fine dusty material on the moon surface, called regolith simulant—into layers and fused it with a base surface to manufacture small, heat-resistant objects.

The Toughest Animals in the Universe Just Got a New Job

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on March 1, 2026 at 11:19 pm

They are the toughest animals on Earth and possibly the key to surviving on Mars. Tardigrades, the microscopic creatures nicknamed ‘water bears’, have survived the vacuum of space, the crushing pressure of the deep ocean and temperatures that would kill virtually anything else. Now a new study has put them to work as unlikely pioneers, testing whether the hostile soil of Mars could ever support life and the results are full of surprises.

The Comet From Another Star

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on March 1, 2026 at 11:13 pm

A visitor from another star system has just had its portrait taken by a spacecraft on its way to Jupiter and the image is superb. Comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever discovered passing through our Solar System, has been captured in stunning detail by ESA’s JUICE mission, revealing a glowing halo of gas, a sweeping tail, and hints of jets erupting from its ancient, icy heart. But the picture itself is just the beginning of the story.

Europe’s Answer to Starship

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on March 1, 2026 at 11:03 pm

SpaceX’s Starship is the most powerful rocket ever built and it may be about to change everything. But researchers at the German Aerospace Centre have been asking a question: does Europe have an answer? Their new study, built on meticulous analysis of Starship’s own flight data, suggests the answer is yes although it will require a fundamentally different approach, and a willingness to think differently.

Growing Future Meals in Space Will Require Human Waste

by Carolyn Collins Petersen (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/cc-petersen) on February 28, 2026 at 8:09 pm

Future farmers on the Moon and Mars will have a big challenge: how to grow healthy food in two extremely unhealthy environments. That’s because the soil on both worlds isn’t at all hospitable to plants and animals. Neither are other conditions. Both are irradiated worlds, Mars has a thin atmosphere and the Moon has none at all. So, how will future colonists on either world grow their food?

The Universe’s Most Extraordinary Construction Site

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on February 28, 2026 at 8:39 am

Astronomers have discovered a extraordinary celestial construction site hiding behind a natural magnifying glass in space and what they’ve found is unlike anything seen before. A cluster of at least 11 galaxies, all building stars at a ferocious rate in the early universe, has been caught in the act of becoming one of the most massive structures in the universe.

The Stars That Lit Up the Early Milky Way

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on February 28, 2026 at 8:04 am

Astronomers have used a special class of ancient, pulsating stars as celestial lighthouses to map the earliest chapter of our Galaxy’s life and what they’ve found is rewriting what we thought we knew about how the Milky Way was born. By building the largest ever catalogue of these stellar beacons and tracing their movements back billions of years, the team has uncovered surprising similarities between our Galaxy’s earliest structures, and even found evidence of the same story playing out in our nearest galactic neighbour.

Would Earth Still Be Habitable Without Us?

by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on February 28, 2026 at 7:35 am

Scientists have built a working model of Earth without any life on it and what they found might change how we search for aliens. By simulating 4.5 billion years of our planet’s evolution minus every bacterium, plant, and creature that ever existed, they’ve created a new tool for spotting genuinely habitable worlds among the thousands of rocky planets soon to be studied by the next generation of space telescopes.

Jupiter Is Smaller and Flatter Than Previously Thought

by Laurence Tognetti, MSc (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/laurencetognetti) on February 28, 2026 at 3:29 am

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and has proudly boasted about this since time immemorial, with its scientific confirmation occurring by Galileo Galilei in 1610. It was later found that Jupiter has a bulging equator caused by its rapid rotation, turbulent atmosphere, and complex interior mechanisms despite its massive size, and scientists have even measured its “waistline” down to a tenth of a kilometer. Now, imagine being the largest planet in the solar system and you’re told you’re not as big as you thought. Where probably most humans would be thrilled to find this out, how do you respond if you’re Jupiter?

JWST Digs Into the Uranian Ionosphere

by Carolyn Collins Petersen (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/cc-petersen) on February 27, 2026 at 5:08 pm

Uranus is a planet that seems to roll around on its side as it orbits the Sun. That’s because it’s tipped over, with an axial tilt of 97.8 degrees. That weird tilt gave the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) a chance to probe the ionosphere using the Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRSpec) instrument. An international team of astronomers used the data to map the vertical structure of that region and detect faint auroral displays.

A Method for Extracting Oxygen from Extraterrestrial Soils Just Passed a Major Test

Europa and Other Jovian Moons May Have Formed With Their Own Supply of Life’s Building Blocks

by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on February 26, 2026 at 7:04 pm

Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) are important building blocks for life. They can form in space and be delivered to planets. But new research shows some of them can form in circumplanetary disks where moons form, boosting the prospects for life in Europa’s ocean.
