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

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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?

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.

Sprightly animation about a student’s attempt to stop the destruction of a woodland leans into Disney’s love of anthropomorphism and riffs amusingly on AvatarWriter-director Daniel Chong brings us a witty, sprightly family animation, co-produced by Pixar veteran Pete Docter and co-written by Jesse Andrews, who may conceivably have supplied quite a bit of the punching-up and the funny incidental lines. In its modest, insouciant way, it is about protecting the environment, and riffs amusingly on films such as Avatar (there’s some amusing preemptive material about it not being like Avatar, but it is, especially at the end) as well as Inception, The Lion King and Dr Dolittle. It’s also about Disney anthropomorphism generally: the great mystery of what it must be like to be an animal and the human yearning to communicate and empathise with them.Mabel, voiced by Piper Curda, is a teenager who lives with her grandma (the absence of her mom is slightly skated over) and learns from this wise older person the importance of loving nature, particularly the peaceful woodland glade near their house – and the associated importance of acceptance and forgiveness for people that you maybe don’t get along with. But when the evil Mayor Jerry (voiced by Jon Hamm) says he intends to destroy this glade to make way for a freeway, Mabel realises that the only way to stop him legally is to repopulate the glade with the beavers and other animals who have mysteriously vanished.

Did you solve it? You won’t believe these optical illusions!
by Alex Bellos on March 2, 2026 at 4:56 pm
A magician reveals his visual tricksEarlier today I posted five optical illusions by Olivier Redon, a French-American inventor. Here they are again – with demonstrations of how he created the effects.Three of the images are inspired by the Necker cube, a two-dimensional drawing of a cube that can be understood in two ways: either with the bottom left face at the front, or the top right face at the front. Once your eyes settle on one interpretation, it is hard to see the other. Continue reading…
Uefa hits Spurs with suspended one-match away fan ban over Nazi salutes
by David Hytner on March 2, 2026 at 4:55 pm
Three fans found to have made gesture in FrankfurtClub impose indefinite bans on individuals involvedTottenham have had a one-match ban imposed on their away supporters in Europe, suspended for a year, after three of them were found to have directed Nazi salutes at their Eintracht Frankfurt counterparts during the Champions League game between the clubs in January. Spurs have given the trio indefinite bans and described their behaviour as “utterly abhorrent”.Uefa announced the sanction on Monday, saying it had also fined Spurs €30,000. If there is any repeat offence within a year, the club’s fans will serve a one-game away ban. Continue reading…
MPs’ basic salary to rise to £110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says
by Jessica Elgot Deputy political editor on March 2, 2026 at 4:54 pm
Ipsa cites rising abuse and constituency workloads as reasons for above-inflation increase of 5% from AprilThe basic annual salary of MPs will soon rise to £110,000, the expenses watchdog has said, on the grounds of increased abuse and intimidation as well as growing constituency workloads.This April, MPs’ basic pay will rise by almost £5,000 to £98,599, a jump of 5% – and it is expected to reach £110,000 by the end of the parliament.

UK slashes climate aid programmes for developing countries
by Fiona Harvey Environment editor on March 2, 2026 at 4:37 pm
Exclusive: Schemes worth hundreds of millions of pounds to protect biodiversity and oceans likely to be substantially reducedUK programmes to protect nature and the climate in developing countries are suffering swingeing budget cuts despite ministers’ promises, the Guardian has learned.The cuts belie the government’s claims to be fulfilling international obligations on climate finance and are veiled behind a system that experts have criticised as opaque.The cutting and partial closure of the £100m Biodiverse Landscapes Fund, intended to protect nature in vital ecosystems in poor regions overseas. Six regions were originally targeted, in Africa, South America and Asia, but this has been reduced to two.Coast – a project for Climate and Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition – and Pact (Prepare and Accelerate Climate Transitions) are having substantial cuts.The future of the £500m Blue Planet Fund has been thrown into doubt despite its successful operation.Other schemes have been reduced in scope, for instance by allowing only one year’s funding where years were expected.Requests for data under the Freedom of Information Act have revealed spending has been slashed among the departments responsible for international climate finance (ICF).

Brave Bettie review – one night for daring duo to save a mighty oak
by Chris Wiegand on March 2, 2026 at 4:30 pm
Arts Depot, LondonTwo new friends attempt to protect a cherished tree from destruction in Tatenda Naomi Matsvai’s evocative play for young audiencesTwo stories are entwined in Tatenda Naomi Matsvai’s new play, which is rooted in the natural world. The first is a folk tale, read downstage by schoolgirl Bettie, about Paida Moyo, who protects her Zimbabwean kingdom from “cutlass-carrying men” and rescues an injured lioness. The second is Bettie’s own nocturnal adventure, accompanied by Paida Moyo, to save a cherished oak tree from being felled as part of the villainous local council’s plans for a new car park.The former story is delivered with the headlong rush of an avid reader and risks running away from the young audience (it’s aimed at children aged three to eight). The latter, which forms the bulk of the show, has a more halting pace as the derring-do is interspersed with bits of wisdom.Touring until 15 March Continue reading…

Football Daily | Royal Rumbles and low-block blues: the Premier League’s style problem
by Barry Glendenning on March 2, 2026 at 4:13 pm
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Following Liverpool’s win over Lille to qualify for the knockout stages of Bigger Cup last season, Arne Slot famously revealed that his father had been less than impressed. “There have definitely not been many [Liverpool] games where he has said: ‘Oh I like what I saw!’” sighed Slot of his old man, who presumably views a 4-0 win with the same grim Dutch disdain one might reserve for a lukewarm stroopwafel. This past weekend it became apparent that the apple hasn’t fallen too far from the tree, as the Liverpool head coach told hacks that even he isn’t particularly impressed with the quality of football in the Premier League, although the nature of Arsenal’s attritional Six Nations win over Chelsea may have won him over.Less than two weeks between hoping that ‘courage and confidence can arrest Tottenham’s slide’ and saying: ‘We are lacking when we attack, we lack the quality to score the goal. We are lacking in the middle to run and we are lacking behind to stay there to suffer and not concede the goal. So, an amazing situation. Amazing.’ Spurs are just like if the late Byzantine court had a football club, but with marginally fewer ritual blindings” – Noble Francis.If the Spurs caretaker manager’s post-game assessment of the loss to Fulham is accurate, his club may have missed a huge opportunity by not hiring a tutor instead of a Tudor” – Peter Oh.On Saturday a group of four old (very old) friends and I attended the Hearts v Aberdeen match at Tynecastle. Many years ago we were all regular Hearts turnstile pushers, but as time passed we all now live in widely separated locales. However, once a year, we still make a point of booking tickets, hospitality and an overnight stay in Edinburgh, just for old time’s sake. (Our journeys do indeed make use of trains, planes and automobiles. Oh, and a coach.) This year we pushed the boat out and booked rooms in the bijou little hotel within the Tynecastle fortress itself. On Sunday morning one friend and I had already checked out and were waiting for the others to appear. Out of nowhere a man in a Hearts jumper came through reception – ‘Can I help you boys?’ [Boys!] We explained we were just waiting on friends. He continued: ‘While you’re hanging on, do you want to come and have a look at the changing rooms?’ So he took us to the changing rooms, showers, medical centre, warm-up room, etc … and then out to the pitch. He took pictures of us in the tunnel and sitting in the dugout! For two old men who have supported Hearts through 50-plus years of disappointment and rare glory, this was almost unbelievable. I had to keep pinching myself. At one point he said: ‘They don’t have a big communal bath like in the old days. There’s showers instead. But there is one single bath still available for whoever wants it and gets it first. We call it “The Cammy Devlin Bath”, on account of the number of red cards he gets!’” – Ken Muir. Continue reading…
Philharmonia/ Schwarz/ Ólafsson review – a masterclass in pianissimo
by Flora Willson on March 2, 2026 at 4:12 pm
Queen Elizabeth Hall, LondonMarking György Kurtág’s 100th birthday, Elena Schwarz and Víkingur Ólafsson led a programme of hushed intensity and fleeting ferocityDuring this celebration of the 100th birthday of György Kurtág, a composer associated above all with what the concert’s presenter Tom Service called “intense quiet”, the occasional louder moments were breathtaking. There was a phrase in Víkingur Ólafsson’s piano arrangement of Bach’s Air on the G String that briefly bared its own musculature, as tenderly firm as a parent lifting a baby. There were a few snatched, jagged edges in Kurtág’s Hommage à R Sch when viola and clarinet snarled against Ólafsson’s silken piano. There was the fierce, impassioned opening of Mark Simpson’s Hommage à Kurtág. And there was the monumental Old Testament brass that boomed fleetingly across Kurtág’s … quasi una fantasia … Op 27 No 1 before dropping away to unveil a delicate skein of string harmonics.Otherwise, this programme revelled in Kurtág’s many shades of pianissimo. Nine of his works – none lasting more than 10 minutes, most much shorter – were interspersed by comparably crystalline pieces by others (Schumann, Simpson, Webern, Bach). Ólafsson featured in most. Often bent deeply over the keyboard, he handled every barely audible note as if priceless. Continue reading…

UK slashes climate aid programmes for developing countries
by Fiona Harvey Environment editor on March 2, 2026 at 4:37 pm
Exclusive: Schemes worth hundreds of millions of pounds to protect biodiversity and oceans likely to be substantially reducedUK programmes to protect nature and the climate in developing countries are suffering swingeing budget cuts despite ministers’ promises, the Guardian has learned.The cuts belie the government’s claims to be fulfilling international obligations on climate finance and are veiled behind a system that experts have criticised as opaque.The cutting and partial closure of the £100m Biodiverse Landscapes Fund, intended to protect nature in vital ecosystems in poor regions overseas. Six regions were originally targeted, in Africa, South America and Asia, but this has been reduced to two.Coast – a project for Climate and Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition – and Pact (Prepare and Accelerate Climate Transitions) are having substantial cuts.The future of the £500m Blue Planet Fund has been thrown into doubt despite its successful operation.Other schemes have been reduced in scope, for instance by allowing only one year’s funding where years were expected.Requests for data under the Freedom of Information Act have revealed spending has been slashed among the departments responsible for international climate finance (ICF).

Insect taxonomist Art Borkent has described and named more than 300 species of midges but fears his field of science is dying out, despite millions of insects, fungi and other organisms waiting to be discoveredOnce Art Borkent starts speaking about biting midges, he rarely pauses for breath. Holding up a picture of a gnat trapped in amber from the time of the dinosaurs, the 72-year-old taxonomist explains that there are more than 6,000 ceratopogonidae species known to science. He has described and named more than 300 midges, mostly from his favourite family of flies. Some specialise in sucking blood from mammals, reptiles, other insects and even fish, often using the CO2 from their host’s breath to locate their target, he says. Tens of thousands remain a mystery to science, waiting to be discovered.But to Borkent’s knowledge, nobody will continue his life’s work of identifying and studying this group of flies once he has gone.

Understanding biodiversity within species is key to our understanding of why nature works the way it does, say researchersWords and photographs by Roberto García-RoaTwelve miles from the heart of Rome, Dr Javier Ábalos pauses his walk, lifts his sunglasses and points. To his right, perched on a rocky wall, sits a beautiful lizard. Its body is coated in charcoal-black tones speckled with striking yellow across a green dorsum, and its head, with a prominent jaw, is splashed with fluorescent blue spots. The reptile basks in the sun, unconcerned by our presence.About 80 miles (130km) drive farther along the road that connects the capital with the small village of Poggio di Roio, the researcher from the University of Valencia has barely stepped out of the car when he spots another lizard. This one is smaller, with a brownish body and a narrower head crisscrossed by a network of dark stripes.Researchers fear the common wall lizard of the white morph could be driven to extinction by the arrival of a new variation Continue reading…

Most US coal plants could meet air pollution rules. Trump weakened them anyway
by Oliver Milman on February 27, 2026 at 12:30 pm
EPA found only 27 of 219 plants needed upgrades; 71 later got exemptions as Donald Trump scrapped mercury limitsAlmost all coal-fired power plants in the US had the ability to comply with rules limiting their emission of dangerous pollutants such as mercury that can cause brain damage in children. Despite this, Donald Trump’s administration decided to demolish the standards anyway.Last week, the Trump administration said it is loosening restrictions on air toxins from mercury, lead and other heavy metals that are released by coal plants. Such pollution is known to be neurotoxic and has been linked to irreversible brain damage in children and infants, as well as heart disease and cancer in adults. Continue reading…

Judge sides with salmon against Trump administration in hydropower ruling

Federal judge in Oregon rejects bid to overturn Biden-era agreement to protect endangered fish populationsSign up for the Breaking News US email to get newsletter alerts direct to your inboxA federal judge in Oregon sided with salmon against the Trump administration on Wednesday, ordering the federal government to change hydropower system operations long considered at the heart of native fish populations’ sharp decline.At the center of the dispute are eight dams and reservoirs on the Columbia and Snake Rivers in the Pacific north-west that have created devastating obstacles for salmon and steelhead unable to breach their deadly turbines or navigate through the large, warm, artificial pools. The federal agencies and their supporters, which include a group of utilities, water managers and farming organizations, argued that reservoir drawdown would put power reliability in peril.

Riding the wave: can surf tourism save Peru’s ancient reed-boat fishing culture?
by Dan Collyns in Huanchaco, Peru on February 26, 2026 at 12:00 pm
As fish stocks dwindle, surf tourism may offer a lifeline to traditional caballitos de totora fishers, whose vessels are thought to be among the first ever used to ride wavesJust before dawn, in a scene that has repeated itself over thousands of years on the north coast of Peru, fishers drag boats made of bound reeds to the water’s edge and, kneeling on them, use paddles shaped from split bamboo to row out into the Pacific Ocean to catch their breakfast. A few hours later, these surfer fishers return with netfuls of their catch, riding waves on the final stretch back to the shore. From the main beach in Huanchaco – a seaside town near the city of Trujillo – the fish are taken to sell at the market or to beachfront restaurants preparing meals for tourists.The four-metre-long reed vessels – known as caballitos de totora in Spanish, or “little reed horses” – are placed upright on their ends by the promenade on El Mogote beach so that the seawater drains away and they are ready to be used the next morning.

Judge orders Greenpeace to pay $345m over Dakota Access pipeline protest
by Associated Press in Bismarck on February 25, 2026 at 11:55 pm
Group says case far from over after being found liable for defamation and other claims brought by energy firmA North Dakota judge has said he will order Greenpeace to pay damages expected to total $345m in connection with protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline from nearly a decade ago, a figure the environmental group contends it cannot pay.In court papers filed on Tuesday, Judge James Gion said he would sign an order requiring several Greenpeace entities to pay the judgment to pipeline company Energy Transfer. He set that amount at $345m last year in a decision that reduced a jury’s damages by about half, but his latest filing did not specify a final amount. Continue reading…
Tropical plants flowering months earlier or later because of climate crisis – study

Why food justice isn’t being served in America | Hanna Garth
by Hanna Garth on February 25, 2026 at 2:52 pm
Advocates often assume communities of color just don’t know any better when it comes to eating healthyI met the man I’ll call Randy Johnson 13 years ago, as I began research in South Central Los Angeles. I’m an anthropologist who explores how people think about food and use food in their everyday lives. As executive director of a large food justice organization focused on K-12 education throughout the city, Randy was a key source. He talked to me about South Central’s status as a food desert, where its majority Latinx and Black residents had little access to groceries or healthy food. A middle-aged white man, Randy told me of his work in South Central, which centered around encouraging school-age children to eat more fresh vegetables.He described South Central as a wasteland of sorts. “There is just nothing there,” he said, pointing to the common but false idea that there were no grocery stores there. He then pivoted to talking about the residents. “I see them having almost zero education when it comes to [making healthy eating choices]. They don’t know that what they’re eating is destroying them slowly. It’s just that we, as a society, have failed our citizens to educate them that they shouldn’t be buying the fries every day.”Hanna Garth is assistant professor of anthropology at Princeton University Continue reading…
