The Star That Exploded Without Hydrogen
by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on July 31, 2026 at 4:47 pm
Twenty five years ago a star in the constellation Puppis blew itself apart and then vanished behind a curtain of its own soot. Astronomers knew only that the explosion contained no hydrogen at all, which for the most abundant element in the universe is a very strange absence. Now the dust has finally thinned, and the culprits have stepped into view, a white dwarf quietly stripping a rare helium […]

NASA Wants to Toss 10,000 Tiny Probes Directly Into Saturn’s Rings
by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on July 31, 2026 at 3:32 pm
Cassini, NASA’s last major mission to Saturn, famously plunged to its fiery death in the gas giant’s atmosphere at the end of its mission. It had captured more accurate in-situ data of the Saturnian system than any mission before or since. But there’s one particular part that it couldn’t directly approach – Saturn’s rings. But NASA very obviously wants to take a nice up-close look at […]
What happens to a moon when its planet is stolen?
by Mark Thompson (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/mark) on July 31, 2026 at 3:16 pm
The galaxy is littered with rogue planets, worlds flung out of the systems that built them, drifting between the stars with no sun to call their own. But when a planet is torn away, does anything go with it? New simulations say yes, a passing star can rip a world out of its orbit and leave its moons still faithfully circling it, sailing off into the dark as a set. If our own Jupiter were evicted […]
It Took a Century, but Astronomers Imaged Betelgeuse’s Companion
by Carolyn Collins Petersen (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/cc-petersen) on July 31, 2026 at 8:19 am
Most of us are familiar with Betelgeuse (also known as alpha Orionis), the bright shoulder star in the constellation Orion. It’s a red supergiant star that lies somewhere between 400 and 550 light-years away from us and is quite bright. Betelgeuse contains about 14 times the mass of the Sun and is a fairly young star compared to ours. It appears to be no more than 10 million years old, which […]
Mercury’s Weak Magnetic Field Periodically Traps Solar Wind

The planet Mercury is the first planet from the Sun but also one shrouded in mystery. This is primarily due to the limited number of spacecrafts that have visited it, but this limited data has provided scientists with new and exciting characteristics previously thought impossible. One fascinating aspect is its magnetic field, which was first discovered in March 1974, which both surprised and […]
What Killed Galaxies in the Early Universe?
by Carolyn Collins Petersen (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/cc-petersen) on July 30, 2026 at 10:00 pm
Galaxies in the infancy of the Universe are the building blocks of more modern galaxies. They began as small “shreds” of material that coalesced over time to form larger ones. That’s why astronomers use observatories such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study the young Universe. The light from those early objects appears in the infrared part of the spectrum, which JWST is tuned to see.
Primordial Black Holes Can Trigger Type Ia Supernovae, and Astronomers Should be Able to Find Them
by Evan Gough (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/ion23drive) on July 30, 2026 at 7:22 pm
Primordial black holes (PBH) remain hypothetical, but that isn’t stopping astrophysicists from figuring out how they could interact with other stellar objects. New research shows how PBHs, formed in the early Universe from collapsing pockets of dense subatomic matter instead of from stars, can enter white dwarfs. In some cases, that could’ve triggered a Type Ia supernova with particular chemical […]
Radio Array Detects Polarized Light From a GRB
by Carolyn Collins Petersen (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/cc-petersen) on July 30, 2026 at 6:57 pm
On March 10, 2026, the Fermi telescope gamma-ray burst team reported the detection of a long-duration gamma ray burst that occurred when a star exploded inside a dense, highly magnetized cloud of hydrogen gas. That HII region is a bubble of ionized hydrogen created by winds from a massive young star. Astronomers immediately turned as many telescopes as possible to view the burst and its […]

by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on July 30, 2026 at 3:40 pm

A Thermal Camera Trick Could Let LIGO See Twice as Far

A team of researchers have found a surprisingly simple way to boost the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors like LIGO. It’s surprisingly simple to, just point an ordinary thermal imaging camera at the mirrors themselves. The technique could improve LIGO’s next upgrade by up to 31%, letting it detect neutron star collisions tens of millions of light years farther away, and is already […]

A new study presented at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting suggests that solar storms may warm the Martian lower atmosphere, but only when they strike during a major Martian dust storm.

Confirming the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence via radio signals, also called technosignatures, is the cornerstone of radio astronomy.

Quantum Physics Could Help Us Find Earth 2.0
by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on July 30, 2026 at 2:56 am
When astronomers talk about directly imaging an exoplanet that is orbiting a far away star, the analogy they most commonly go with is trying to spot a fireflight next to a massive search light. An Earth-like exoplanet is incredibly dim – usually between 100 million and 10 billion times fainter than its host star. Understandably, that makes them very difficult to see. But a new paper from Hyunsoo […]
Astronomers Use “Blind Stacking” to Uncover Invisible Space Junk Threatening Geosynchronous Orbit
by Andy Tomaswick (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/andy-tomaswick) on July 30, 2026 at 2:00 am
Geostationary orbit (GEO) is arguably one of the most important orbital spaces we have. So it’s critical that we keep it clear of debris that could destroy the valuable GPS, weather tracking, and communications satellites already in this orbit. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done; small pieces of debris at that altitude can slip past even our most sensitive sensors. But now, a new paper […]
Scientists Map Moon Regolith to Aid Lunar Bases

Tracking Satellites and Space Debris Using Radio Antennae
by Carolyn Collins Petersen (https://www.universetoday.com/authors/cc-petersen) on July 30, 2026 at 12:08 am
Every year, thousands and thousands of satellites get launched into orbit around our planet. The result is an increasingly congested “space” above Earth populated by equipment that provides services to the surface. At the same time, these satellites affect ground-based astronomy research and create potential for damage when they eventually fall through Earth’s atmosphere to the ground. In […]
