Water Retention on Earth-Like Planets Around Variable Stars
by Laurence Tognetti, MSc (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/laurencetognetti) on November 29, 2025 at 7:23 am

This is what a recent study accepted to The Astronomical Journal hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the interaction between a star’s activity and exoplanetary atmospheres. This study has the potential to help astronomers better understand how star variability plays a role in finding habitable exoplanets, specifically around stars that are different from our Sun.
The Ultraviolet Mystery Inside Newborn Stars
by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on November 29, 2025 at 12:07 am
Young stars buried deep in molecular clouds are bathed in ultraviolet radiation, but they shouldn’t be. Protostars are too cold and dim to produce UV light themselves, yet James Webb Space Telescope observations of five stellar nurseries in Ophiuchus reveal its unmistakable signature affecting the surrounding gas. Astronomers tested the obvious explanation that nearby massive stars illuminate these birthplaces but subsequently ruled it out. The UV radiation must be coming from inside the star forming regions themselves, forcing a fundamental rethink of how stars are born.
Modeling Venus Volcanic Plumes to Cloud-Level Heights
by Laurence Tognetti, MSc (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/laurencetognetti) on November 28, 2025 at 9:58 pm

This is what a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the potential altitudes of explosive volcanism on Venus. This study has the potential to help scientists better understand the present volcanic activity on Venus, along with gaining insight about its formation and evolution and other planetary bodies throughout the solar system and beyond.

Galaxies Struggle To Grow In Crowded Environments
by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on November 27, 2025 at 9:51 pm
New research shows how a galaxy’s surroundings influence its development. Its size, shape, and growth rate are all affected. It’s all based on “the finer details of the cosmic landscape.”
by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on November 27, 2025 at 5:15 pm
A red giant orbiting a dormant black hole is spinning impossibly fast and contains chemistry that makes it look ancient when it’s actually relatively young. By listening to faint vibrations rippling through the star, astronomers have decoded a violent secret, that this star likely collided with and absorbed another star billions of years ago, an explosive merger that left it chemically confused and rotating once every 398 days. The discovery reveals how even quiet black hole systems can have turbulent histories written in starlight.
After a Century of Searching, We May Have Finally Seen Dark Matter
by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on November 27, 2025 at 4:56 pm
Ninety five years after Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky inferred its existence from galaxies moving impossibly fast, researchers may have detected the first direct evidence of dark matter, the invisible scaffolding that holds the universe together. Using gamma ray data from NASA’s Fermi Space Telescope, a Japanese physicist has identified a halo of extremely energetic photons around the Milky Way’s center that matches predictions for annihilating dark matter particles. If confirmed, humanity has finally “seen” the unseeable.
Devastating Stellar Storm Seen on Red Dwarf Star
by David Dickinson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/david-dickinson) on November 27, 2025 at 12:45 pm
On Earth, Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) like the one we experienced earlier this month are aesthetic, even disruptive events, sending aurora southward and interrupting radio signals. But around other stars, they could prove lethal to life. This point was driven home by a recent CME detection from an M-class red dwarf star. This marks the first detection of an energetic Type II radio burst from a nearby star.
Why Being in the “Right Place” Isn’t Enough for Life
by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on November 27, 2025 at 12:18 pm
A planet’s habitability is determined by a confluence of many factors. So far, our explorations of potentially habitable worlds beyond our solar system have focused exclusively on their position in the “Goldilocks Zone” of their solar system, where their temperature determines whether or not liquid water can exist on their surface, and, more recently, what their atmospheres are composed of. That’s in part due to the technical limitations of the instruments available to us – even the powerful James Webb Space Telescope is capable only of seeing atmospheres of very large planets nearby. But in the coming decades, we’ll get new tools, like the Habitable Worlds Observatory, that are more specifically tailored to search for those potentially habitable worlds. So what should we use them to look for? A new paper available in pre-print on arXiv by Benjamin Farcy of the University of Maryland and his colleagues, argues that we should look to how a planet formed to understand its chances of harboring life.
Astronomers Pinpoint 3I/ATLAS’s Path Based on Data from Mars
by Matthew Williams (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/houseofwilliams) on November 27, 2025 at 2:25 am
Since comet 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object, was discovered on 1 July 2025, astronomers worldwide have worked to predict its trajectory. ESA has now improved the comet’s predicted location by a factor of 10, thanks to the innovative use of observation data from our ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) spacecraft orbiting Mars.
Hong Kong’s Mission to Watch the Moon Get Bombarded
by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on November 26, 2025 at 10:41 pm
In 2028, Hong Kong will launch its first dedicated lunar orbiter not to study craters or map minerals, but to monitor something far more urgent, the constant barrage of meteoroids slamming into the Moon’s surface at thousands of kilometres per hour. As China prepares to build a permanent lunar research station, understanding this relentless bombardment has become a matter of safety for future astronauts living and working on the Moon.
The Strange Physics Beneath Icy Moons
by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on November 26, 2025 at 10:23 pm
Beneath the frozen shells of Saturn’s tiny moons, hidden oceans might occasionally boil, not from heat, but from dropping pressure as ice melts from below. This strange phenomenon could explain the bizarre geology of worlds like Miranda and Mimas, and reshape our understanding of where to search for life in the outer Solar System. A new study reveals how these distant water worlds operate under physics unlike anything on Earth.
What Seven Decades of Hunting for Aliens Tells Us
by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on November 26, 2025 at 9:50 pm

After seventy years of searching, we’ve found the ingredients for life scattered throughout the universe but have we found life itself? A new review examines every major claim of extraterrestrial life, from ancient space rocks to UFO sightings, revealing what the evidence actually supports and where wishful thinking has filled the gaps.
