    Observations have revealed the comet’s fuzzy coma, hinted at a weird tail, and suggested an ancient history. Plus, some missions might keep observing the interstellar comet when it ducks behind the Sun. The post Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: What We Know Now appeared first on Sky & Telescope.

    Meteor-watchers will be busy this month and next. Not only are the Southern Delta Aquariids peaking soon, but they get a boost from additional minor showers. The post Thumbs Up for the Delta Aquariid Meteor Shower appeared first on Sky & Telescope.

    On the slopes of Martian mountains and craters clings what appears to be flowing honey, coated in dust and frozen in time. In reality, these features are incredibly slow-moving glaciers, and their contents were once thought to be mostly rock enveloped in some ice.

    Imagine 3D printing an entire building from Moon dust, or having robots construct disaster relief shelters while humans stay safely away from danger. Imagine construction sites where materials never run out because they're literally made from the dirt beneath your feet, and where every structure is built with manufacturing level ...

    But wait, before you build that moon casino we need to talk about a couple things. One, you really have to figure out how the roulette wheel is going to work in a low gravity environment. Second, we’re going to need you to keep the noise down.

    How can artificial intelligence (AI) be used to locate lunar pits and skylights, which are surface depressions and openings, respectively, that serve as entrances to lava caves and lava tubes? This is what a recent study published in Icarus hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated using ...

    Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 4.3% chance of striking the moon in 2032. Watch a video with planetary defense scientist Andrew Rivkin and EarthSky's Deborah Byrd. The post Asteroid 2024 YR4 chances of hitting the moon go up again first appeared on EarthSky.

    Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 30, 2025 Scientists have found a new way to probe the composition of Earth's ancient atmosphere by studying fossilized cosmic dust. An international team led by the University of Gottingen, with collaborators from the Open University, University of Pisa, and Leibniz University Hannover, developed a technique to ...

    Since the beginning of Earth's history, tiny particles of rock and metal from space have been hitting our planet. On clear nights, we can even see their traces as shooting stars. Trapped in layers of rock, these micrometeorites can remain preserved for billions of years.

    The origin of life is one of the most fundamental and enduring questions of mankind and one of the three greatest Origin Questions in the natural sciences. Recently, China officially launched its Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission, Tianwen-3, marking a significant step forward in planetary exploration. The mission aims to ...

    New images from NASA's Curiosity Mars rover show the first close-up views of a region scientists had previously observed only from orbit. The images and data being collected are already raising new questions about how the Martian surface was changing billions of years ago.
  • 2025-06-23
    Researchers at the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht have observed the formation of nanocavities in montmorillonite clay under exposure to gamma-aminobutyric acid, a molecule commonly found on meteorites. This hitherto unrecognized phenomenon could be relevant to the origin of life on Earth, by introducing 3D confined nano-environments in clay that ...

    Georgia Tech scientists have uncovered evidence that a mountain on the rim of Jezero Crater—where NASA's Perseverance Rover is currently collecting samples for possible return to Earth—is likely a volcano. Called Jezero Mons, it is nearly half the size of the crater itself and could add critical clues to the ...

    While Americans enjoyed fireworks on July 4th, NASA’s Perseverance rover was investigating tiny, perfectly round spherules on Mars that might hold secrets to the planet’s fiery past. Unlike the hematite “blueberries” discovered years ago, these new spherules have a volcanic or impact origin, possibly formed during dramatic meteoroid strikes or ...

    Get ready for a celestial event—but keep your expectations grounded. The Southern delta Aquariid meteor shower peaks July 30–31 and is best viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. Northern stargazers may only catch a few faint streaks due to the shower’s origin in the Aquarius constellation and the tiny size of ...

    Although carbon-rich asteroids are common in space, they account for less than 5% of the meteorites that reach Earth. To unravel this mystery, an international team of scientists launched a global investigation. A global team of scientists may have uncovered the answer to a long-standing mystery in space science, potentially ...

  • 2025-07-27
    Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison uncovered a critical flaw in how lunar and Martian rovers are tested on Earth. Simulations revealed that test results have been misleading for decades because researchers only adjusted rover weight to simulate low gravity—but ignored how Earth’s gravity affects the terrain itself. Using a ...

    A 2.35-billion-year-old Moon rock that fell to Earth in Africa is rewriting what we know about lunar volcanism. This rare meteorite, studied by UK scientists and unveiled at a major geochemistry conference, reveals that the Moon was volcanically active far longer than previously thought. With a unique chemical makeup and ...

    A newly discovered comet, 3I/ATLAS, may be the most ancient visitor ever detected, potentially older than our solar system itself. Unlike previous interstellar objects, this ice-rich comet seems to originate from the thick disk of the Milky Way, a region filled with ancient stars. First spotted in July 2025, it’s ...
  • 2025-07-11
    China's Chang’e-6 mission has delivered the first-ever samples from the Moon’s far side, shedding light on one of planetary science’s greatest mysteries: why the near and far sides are so different. The South Pole–Aitken Basin, a colossal crater created 4.25 billion years ago, has now revealed clues about ancient volcanic ...

GADA METEORĪTS
2025
Meteoriti.LV vietne tiks pakāpeniski papildināta ar plašu pamatinformāciju par meteorītiku un ar to saistitām astronomijas nozarēm. Uzzināsiet, vai "meteorīti dabā sastopami retāk par dimantiem", cik tie ir veci un kāda ir to izcelsme. Atradīsiet atbildes uz jautājumiem: Vai meteorīti ir bīstami? Kādi meteorīti atrodami Latvijā un kur tos var apskatīt? Vai Latvijā ir vērts meklēt meteorītus? Ko meteorītu izpēte pastāsta mums par Zemes un Saules sistēmas izcelšanos? Ceram, ka tas radīs vēlmi arī jums pašiem novērot Zemes kosmiskos viesus - meteorus, un, varbūt, pat kļūt par īstiem meteorītu medniekiem!
Veiksmīgu novērošanu!
