SNAPPY CubeSat Takes Flight to Test Space-Based Neutrino Detectors

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on May 21, 2026 at 12:26 pm

Neutrinos, the second most common fundamental particles in the universe, are notoriously difficult to detect. So far we’ve only been able to do so by building giant vats of water far underground with hundreds of photodetectors watching for brief flashes of light. But a new CubeSat mission hopes to change that dynamic and enable the neutrino detectors of the future a much less constrained and expensive existence – in space.

Future Mars Rovers Could Mimic a Swimming Motion to Traverse the Planet’s Surface

by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on May 20, 2026 at 10:33 pm

In 2014, researchers presented the discovery of water vapour plumes being emitted from Jupiter’s moon Europa. This caused quite a stir; it meant that the moon’s buried ocean was accessible without contending with the thick ice shell that concealed it. But new research by the same researchers questions those detections.

Hearing the Heavens – Book Review of The Echoing Universe

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on May 20, 2026 at 5:34 pm

Typically when we think of astronomy, we think of pictures of M87 captured on a backyard telescope or the soaring colorful peaks of the Eagle Nebula seen by Hubble. But perhaps the most influential type of astronomy of the last 100+ years doesn’t directly result in the stunning pictures we’re so accustomed to today. It captures radio waves from some of the most interesting objects in the universe. And in her new book, The Echoing Universe: How Radio Astronomy Helps Us See the Invisible, Dr. Emma Chapman, a radio astronomer at the University of Nottingham, tracks how these longest wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum have influenced the practice of astronomy and our understanding of our place in the universe.
