  • The HWO Must Be Picometer Perfect To Observe Earth 2.0
    2026-01-27
    Lately we’ve been reporting about a series of studies on the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), NASA’s flagship telescope mission for the 2040s. These studies have looked at the type of data they need to collect, and what the types of worlds they would expect to find would look like. Another ...
  • Asteroid 2024 YR4 Has a 4% Chance of Hitting the Moon. Here’s Why That’s a Scientific Goldmine.
    2026-01-27
    There’s a bright side to every situation. In 2032, the Moon itself might have a particularly bright side if it is blasted by a 60-meter-wide asteroid. The chances of such an event are still relatively small (only around 4%), but non-negligible. And scientists are starting to prepare both for the ...
  • Icy Comets Get A Contribution From Stellar Furnaces
    2026-01-26
    Icy comets contain common crystals that can only be formed in extreme heat. But comets reside in the frigid outer reaches of the Solar System. How did these materials form, and how did they find their way into the Solar System's cold fringes?
  • Finding Water on Mars
    2026-01-26
    Water exists across Mars in underground ice, soil moisture, and atmospheric vapour, yet most of it remains frustratingly beyond practical reach for future explorers. A new comparative study from the University of Strathclyde evaluates the technologies that could extract this vital resource from various Martian sources, assessing each method's energy ...
  • A New Study of Lunar Rocks Suggests Earth's Water Might Not Have Come from Meteorites
    2026-01-22
    High-precision oxygen isotopes in Apollo lunar soils reveal a persistent impactor fingerprint, showing that impacts contributed only a tiny fraction of Earth’s water.
  • Pictures, pixels, and picks
    2025-12-19
    Great pictures of a planet and a comet, and great picks from a year of our virtual book club.
  • What is comet 3I/ATLAS?
    2025-10-07
    A roundup of key facts and surprising discoveries about the third known interstellar object.
  • Mars rock and roll
    2025-10-03
    A Mars rock may hold answers in the search for life, and spacecraft might roll along its surface. Plus, meet the red planet’s Rolling Stones Rock.
  • Don’t stare at the Sun (unless you’re SOHO)
    2025-09-19
    The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory isn’t just a powerful tool for studying the Sun; it’s one of the best comet hunters in existence.
  • Lunar soil study limits late meteorite role in supplying Earth oceans
    2026-01-27
    Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 26, 2026 A long standing idea in planetary science is that water rich meteorites arriving late in Earth history could have delivered a major share of the planet's water. A new study that mines the Moon's impact history now argues that this late delivery pathway could ...
  • Ancient Martian beach discovered, providing new clues to red planet's habitability
    2026-01-27
    New findings from NASA's Perseverance rover have revealed evidence of wave-formed beaches and rocks altered by subsurface water in a Martian crater that once held a vast lake—considerably expanding the timeline for potential habitability at this ancient site. In an international study led by Imperial College London, researchers uncovered that ...
  • A new study of lunar rocks suggests Earth's water might not have come from meteorites
    2026-01-25
    For a long time, scientists assumed that Earth's water was delivered by asteroids and comets billions of years ago. This coincided with the Late Heavy Bombardment (ca. 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago), a period when planets and bodies in the solar system experienced a much higher rate of impacts.
  • Halley's Comet wrongly named: 11th-century English monk predates British astronomer
    2026-01-23
    The British astronomer and mathematician Edmond Halley was not, after all, the first to understand the cycle of the comet that now bears his name. This is shown by research conducted by, among others, Professor Simon Portegies Zwart. It was the monk Eilmer of Malmesbury who, as early as the ...
  • Accessing water on Mars: Examining the best technologies for future missions
    2026-01-22
    A new study has examined how future human missions to Mars could access one of the planet's most vital resources—water. The "Martian aqua: occurrence of water and appraisal of acquisition technologies" paper, published in the Advances in Space Research journal, presents a comparative analysis of potential water acquisition technologies for ...
  • Webb finds young sun-like star forging common crystals and flinging them into its outer disk
    2026-01-21
    Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline silicates, since crystals require intense heat to form and these "dirty snowballs" spend most of their time in the ultracold Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Now, looking outside our solar system, ...
  • How dark asteroids die
    2026-01-15
    Back in the earlier days of the internet, there was a viral video from a creator called Bill Wurtz called "the history of the entire world, i guess" which spawned a number of memorable memes, some of which are still in use to this day. One of those was a ...
  • Strange white rocks on Mars hint at millions of years of rain
    2026-01-27
    Bright white rocks spotted by NASA’s Perseverance rover are rewriting what we thought we knew about ancient Mars. These aluminum-rich clays, called kaolinite, usually form on Earth only after millions of years of heavy rainfall in warm, humid environments—conditions similar to tropical rainforests. Their presence on today’s cold, dry Mars ...
  • James Webb catches an exoplanet losing its atmosphere in real time
    2026-01-20
    Astronomers have captured the most dramatic view yet of a planet losing its atmosphere, watching the ultra-hot gas giant WASP-121b for an entire orbit with the James Webb Space Telescope. Instead of a single stream of escaping gas, the planet is wrapped in two colossal helium tails—one trailing behind like ...
  • 3.7-billion-year-old rocks reveal how Earth and the Moon were born
    2026-01-09
    Crystals hidden in Australia’s oldest rocks have revealed new clues about how Earth and the Moon formed. The study suggests Earth’s continents didn’t begin growing until hundreds of millions of years after the planet itself formed. When scientists compared the rocks with Moon samples from the Apollo missions, they found ...

    GADA METEORĪTS
    2020
    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!
