What Goes On Inside A Massive Star Before It Explodes As A Supernova?

by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on March 4, 2026 at 8:58 pm

When people think of supernova explosions, they’re most-often thinking of Type II core-collapse supernovae, where a massive star becomes a red supergiant before collapsing on itself and exploding. New research uncovers what’s going on inside the star before it explodes, and explains why SNe light curves can be different from one another.

Introducing the ‘Interplanetary Habitable Zone’

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on March 4, 2026 at 6:32 pm

Anyone familiar with the search for alien life will have heard of the “Goldilocks Zone” around a star. This is defined as the orbital band where the temperature is just right for liquid water to pool on a rocky planet’s surface – a good approximation for what we thought of as the early conditions for life on Earth. But what happens if that life doesn’t stay on an Earth analog? If they, like we, start to move towards their neighboring planets, the idea of a habitable zone becomes much more complicated. A new paper from Dr. Caleb Scharf of the NASA Ames Research Center, and one of the agency’s premier astrobiologists, tries to account for this possibility by introducing the framework of an Interplanetary Habitable Zone (IHZ).

Cosmic Collaboration: Euclid and Hubble Team Up to Capture the Cat’s Eye Nebula

by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on March 4, 2026 at 4:43 pm

It’s hard to turn away from a picture of the Cat’s Eye Nebula, even if you’ve seen it dozens of times. It may be the most visually compelling planetary nebula out there, with its billowing, layered shrouds and its intricate structure. NASA and the ESA have combined images of the Cat’s Eye from the Euclid and Hubble space telescopes for a fresh look at a favourite and historical cosmic object.

Red Dwarf Stars Might Starve Alien Plants of the “Quality” Light They Need to Breathe

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on March 4, 2026 at 12:51 am

Red dwarfs make up the vast majority of stars in the galaxy. Such ubiquity means they host the majority of rocky exoplanets we’ve found so far – which in turn makes them interesting for astrobiological surveys. However, there’s a catch – astrobiologists aren’t sure the light from these stars can actually support oxygen-producing life. A new paper, available in pre-print on arXiv, by Giovanni Covone and Amedeo Balbi, suggests that they might not – when it comes to stellar light, quality is just as important as quantity. And according to their calculations, Earth-like biospheres are incredibly difficult to sustain around red dwarfs.

Some Extremophiles Could Survive an Asteroid Impact on Mars, and the Dangerous Journey to Earth

by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on March 3, 2026 at 8:41 pm

Panspermia is the idea that life was spread from world to world somehow. New research shows that one type of Earthly extremophile can survive the extremely high pressure from asteroid impacts on Mars, be blasted into space, and maybe even survive the journey to Earth.

NASA Tests Prototype 3D Printed Titanium Antenna in Space

by Matthew Williams (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/houseofwilliams) on March 3, 2026 at 7:25 pm

With a simple motion, a jack-in-the-box-like spring designed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory showed the potential of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, to cut costs and complexity for futuristic space antennas. Called JPL Additive Compliant Canister (JACC), the spring deployed on the small commercial spacecraft Proteus Space’s Mercury One on Feb. 3, 2026. An onboard camera captured a video of the spring popping out of its container as the spacecraft passed over the Pacific Ocean in low-Earth orbit.

Adolescence Is Tumultuous, Even For Exoplanets

by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on March 3, 2026 at 5:10 pm

Planetary systems such as our solar system take hundreds of millions of years to evolve. But we see most exoplanet systems either very early in their development, or long after the systems have settled down. There’s an information gap about what happens in the middle, and a rarely observed “adolescent” system is a valuable opportunity to learn more and to test models of planetary evolution.

The Coldest “Stars” in the Galaxy Might Actually Be Alien Megastructures

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on March 3, 2026 at 2:05 pm

Ever since physicist Freeman Dyson first proposed the concept in 1960, the “Dyson sphere” has been the holy grail of techno-signature hunters. A highly advanced civilization could build a “sphere” (or, in our more modern understanding, a “swarm” of smaller components) around their host star to harvest its entire energy output. We know, in theory at least, that such a swarm could exist – but what would it actually look like if we were able to observe one? A new paper available in pre-print on arXiv, and soon to be published in Universe from Amirnezam Amiri of the University of Arkansas digs into that question – and in the process discloses the types of stars that are the most likely to find them around.

Astronomers Devise a New Way to Measure Cosmic Expansion with Lensed Supernovae

by Matthew Williams (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/houseofwilliams) on March 2, 2026 at 11:30 pm

How Saving Earth Could Ruin Orbit

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on March 2, 2026 at 7:10 pm

Satellite imaging is increasingly important to every field from crop monitoring to poverty reduction. So it’s no surprise that there have been more and more satellites launched to try to meet that growing demand. But with more satellites comes more risk for collision – and the debris field that comes after the collision. A new paper in Advanced in Space Research from John Mackintosh and his co-authors at the University of Manchester looks at how we might use mission design to mitigate some of the hazards of increasing the number of satellites even more

Tiny Dust Grains From Massive Stars: How the Smallest and Largest Are Linked

by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on March 2, 2026 at 6:45 pm

Star dust is at the root of everything that exists, and is produced in large quantities around Wolf-Rayet binaries. But there are some puzzling observations of dust grain sizes that require explanations. New research shows why different observations have found different dust grain sizes.

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

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.
