When Stars Blow Bubbles

01-01-2026 21:23 via universetoday.com

For the first time, astronomers have caught a stellar nursery in the act of blowing giant celestial bubbles, revealing a massive outflow of gas stretching over 650 light-years from one of the Milky Way’s most extraordinary star clusters. Using nearly two decades of data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, researchers traced this budding stream of supercharged particles as it expands beneath our Galaxy’s disk, offering crucial insights into how young, massive stars shap

The Sticky Problem of Lunar Dust Gets a Mathematical Solution

01-01-2026 21:03 via universetoday.com

Lunar dust poses one of the most persistent challenges for spacecraft operations on the Moon, clinging stubbornly to surfaces and infiltrating equipment with potentially devastating consequences. Now, researchers have developed a comprehensive mathematical model that reveals exactly how electrically charged dust particles behave when they collide with spacecraft at low speeds, uncovering surprising insights about what makes them stick and what allows them to bounce away.

The Interstellar Comet That’s Spilling Its Secrets

01-01-2026 20:43 via universetoday.com

Astronomers have measured water streaming from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS for the first time since it passed closest to the Sun. Using a spacecraft that’s been watching the Sun for nearly three decades, scientists detected hydrogen glowing around the comet and calculated that it was producing water at extraordinary rates. These measurements not only confirm that interstellar comets behave remarkably like our own Solar System’s icy wanderers, but also provide crucial clues about what

Nog even terugkomen op de Orionnevel (M42)

01-01-2026 16:31 via astroblogs.nl

Vorige week blogde ik over de Orionnevel (M42) die ik Eerste Kerstdag had gefotografeerd. Duidelijk te zien was dat de kern van het kolossale HII-gebied in Orion ver overbelicht was. Ik heb daarom de foto opnieuw bewerkt in Siril om te kijken of ik de overbelichting kon tempereren en de kern met het beroemde Trapezium […]

Nieuwe beelden onthullen wat er werkelijk gebeurt als novae exploderen

01-01-2026 12:22 via astroblogs.nl

Sterrenkundigen hebben opmerkelijk gedetailleerde beelden verkregen van twee stellaire explosies – novae genaamd – slechts enkele dagen nadat ze begonnen. De nieuwe waarnemingen leveren duidelijk bewijs dat deze uitbarstingen niet zo eenvoudig zijn als voorheen werd gedacht. In plaats van één enkele explosie kunnen de explosies meerdere stromen materiaal uitstoten en zelfs de uitstoot op […]

Gaia Spots Worlds Being Born

01-01-2026 03:21 via universetoday.com

ESA’s Gaia space telescope has achieved something astronomers thought nearly impossible, detecting planets while they’re still forming inside the dusty discs surrounding newborn stars. By measuring the subtle gravitational wobbles that unseen companions induce on their host stars, Gaia has found hints of planets, brown dwarfs, and companion stars in 31 young stellar systems out of 98 surveyed.

Scientists Race to Film Black Holes in 3D

01-01-2026 01:06 via universetoday.com

The iconic 2019 and 2022 photographs of black holes M87* and Sagittarius A* captivated astronomers worldwide with their fuzzy orange doughnut shapes. Now, scientists are preparing to take the next giant leap by creating the first ever 3D movies of black holes that could fundamentally reshape our understanding of gravity and the universe’s most violent phenomena.
