Earth From Orbit Is Unpredictable and Messy. Could ‘Liquid’ AI Clear the View?
by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on September 12, 2026 at 12:27 pm
Monitoring Earth from above is a messy, inconsistent business. Clouds can block a satellite view, the angle of the Sun can create huge shadows, and orbital paths might not take a system across the same general area for weeks. That inconsistency is hard to deal with for traditional software, and can even confuse standard deep learning algorithms. But, according to a new review paper by researchers […]

A New Design For A Plasma Engine Fuels On Only Thin Air
by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on September 12, 2026 at 12:10 pm
Choosing what orbit to put a satellite in always comes with trade-offs. When it comes to Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), between 100-450 km, there are distinct advantages. Remote sensing cameras can take better pictures, comms and radar require less power, and atmospheric drag will automatically clean up dead satellites. But there’s also a cost – air friction requires any satellite in this orbit […]

Dense Galaxies Are Carving Out A Bubble in the Early Universe
by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on September 11, 2026 at 10:51 pm
Light could only travel freely in the Universe after cosmic reionization. Before that, neutral hydrogen stopped photons from travelling. The JWST has found evidence of an overdensity of galaxies carving out a bubble of reionization. Is this how it all started?

How Big Can The Universe’s First Starbursts Get?

As our telescopes have improved and we’ve been able to peer farther back in time, we’ve begun finding more fascinating features of the universe. But one thing we definitely haven’t found yet is Population III (Pop III) stars. These were the earliest stars in the universe, formed completely from pristine hydrogen and helium, with no “metals” (i.e. elements heavier than those two) […]

What’s Carving Active Gullies on Mars? It’s Not Water
by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on September 11, 2026 at 1:12 pm
Scientists were shocked when they received the first images of Martian gullies. They were even more shocked as those gullies appeared to change over time. Their similarities to gullies seen on Earth were uncanny, but all of Earth’s gullies are formed by the water run-off, and Martian is too cold and has too sparse an atmosphere to have liquid water on its surface. Whatever has been causing […]

Unexplained Gamma-Rays from the Galactic Center Could be from Self-Annihilating Dark Matter
by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on September 10, 2026 at 7:56 pm
Over a decade ago, the Fermi satellite detected an excess of gamma-ray emissions in the galactic center. Potential explanations included Sgr. A*, the Milky Way’s SMBH, pulsars, and even self-annihilating dark matter. There’s no clear answer yet, since the region is so difficult to observe. But recent research shows that dark matter can’t be ruled out.

However, so far it has found precisely none. It seems the […]
