    Universe Today

  • Space Telescopes Are Now Overwhelmed by Satellite Trails
    Unfortunately there’s more bad news to report on the clear skies front. A new paper, available in pre-print on arXiv from researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center, reports that 73.3% of images the agency’s new SPHEREx space telescope collected between May and September of last year were contaminated by at...

  • Why Can't the Universe Be Cyclic? Part 3: The Ekpyrotic Universe and Its Bouncing Branes
    The ekpyrotic theory tries to beat inflation with bouncing higher-dimensional branes, no singularity, and a universe that has always existed. A tour of the prettiest version of the idea and how it claims to handle flatness, dark energy, and the entropy that doomed earlier cyclic models.... Read more »
  • Catch Comet 220P McNaught in Outburst
    We witnessed a surprise outburst late last week, from a lesser known periodic comet. Posts flashed across message boards late last week, alerting comet watchers to a dramatic change in brightness for periodic comet 220P McNaught. Though it wasn’t on our list for bright comets to watch for in 2026,... Read more »
  • The Hidden Physics Complicating Interstellar Lightsails
    If we’re to reach another star, chemical propulsion will not get us there in any reasonable time frame. We’re going to need a different propulsion technology, and one of the most promising seems to be a solar sail. These giant reflective surfaces form the basis of many interstellar missions. Combined... Read more »
  • Student Astronomer Identifies Source of Mysterious Cosmic Signals
    An international team led by astronomers at the University of Sydney has uncovered the clearest evidence yet for the origin of an unusual class of cosmic signals. In doing so, they have identified a rare stellar system that is providing scientists with a natural laboratory to study extreme physics.... Read more »
  • Why Can't the Universe Be Cyclic? Part 2: The Awkward Triumph of Inflation
    Inflation is awkward, possibly not even a proper theory, and it has reigned over cosmology for forty years anyway. Here is what it claims, the flatness, horizon, and monopole problems it solves, the structure-formation prediction it nailed, and the deep problems it still cannot escape.... Read more »
  • The SETI Institute Releases Technosignature Report on 3I/ATLAS
    Scientists at the SETI Institute searched for technological signals from 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object observed in our Solar System. Using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory in Northern California, the team scanned a wide range of radio frequencies for signs of extraterrestrial technology and found none,...

  • China Debuts Consumer Craft That Flies Inches Above Water At 53 MPH
    Image Courtesy: NAVEE Chinese mobility company NAVEE has unveiled what it describes as the world’s first consumer-grade wing-in-ground craft, a vehicle that travels just above the water’s surface using aerodynamic lift rather than traditional boating methods. The new WaveFly 5X made its public debut during a live demonstration on Dong... Read more »
  • Russia’s Starlink Competitor Loses First Satellite After Mysterious Mission Failure in Orbit
    Image Courtesy: Defence Blog Russia’s effort to build a domestic satellite internet network suffered an early setback after one of the first spacecraft in its Rassvet broadband constellation reentered Earth’s atmosphere and burned up less than three months after launch. The satellite, known as Object 4 and tracked by NORAD... Read more »
