• A Rare Meteorite Just Revealed a Lost, Mars-Sized Planet from the Dawn of the Solar System
  2026-06-09
  Meteorites are (usually) gifts from the heavens. They provide unique insights to parts of the solar system that we couldn’t access otherwise - either because it's too expensive, or because the solar system itself has evolved since it was formed. A new paper from researchers at the University of Colorado ...
• Catch Comet 220P McNaught in Outburst
  2026-06-08
  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, ...

• Binary asteroids' puzzling configurations may link to multi-satellite history
  2026-06-11
  Binary asteroid systems are widespread throughout our inner solar system. For decades, the standard paradigm held that many of them form when a rapidly spinning primary asteroid casts off material, which then reaccumulates into an elongated moon orbiting near the Roche limit.

• Dino-killing asteroid may have fueled underground life for 8 million years
  2026-06-09
  The asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs also created an underground environment suited to supporting new life, and new research suggests it lasted for millions of years longer than previously suspected.
• Cosmic bombardment may have opened Earth's crust for prebiotic chemistry
  2026-06-09
  Asteroids and planetesimals regularly bombarded Earth between about 4.6 billion and 3.5 billion years ago, during the Hadean and Archean eons. Because few rocks today are more than 4 billion years old, our understanding of the planet's environment during that time is limited. However, samples from the moon and its ...
