The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest scientific instrument, recreates high-energy collisions to search for new fundamental particles, such as the mysterious Higgs boson.
The first extrasolar coronal mass ejection from the red dwarf star StKM 1-1262 has been detected. This explosion raises questions about the habitability of exoplanets, as it could strip them of their atmospheres.
Science has a theory that is as terrifying as it is revealing: perhaps we haven't found extraterrestrials because all advanced civilisations self-destruct before they can expand. Is that our destiny?
Our Sun, which today sustains life on Earth, also has an expected end in about 5 billion years; its evolution will turn it into a dying star.
A powerful G3 geomagnetic storm has begun. Following the initial impact, three coronal mass ejections are approaching Earth, with at least two expected to make direct impact, producing spectacular auroras.
The space agency already has the technology to obtain water on Mars from ice in the soil — the real obstacle isn’t finding it, but surviving the process.
November 2025 brings us spectacular nights when you’ll be able to see the Hunter’s Supermoon, spot Uranus in opposition, and enjoy the swift Leonids alongside Cassiopeia and Andromeda.
The universe could end frozen, torn apart, or stopped forever. Behind these apocalyptic scenarios lies the mysterious and elusive dark energy, responsible for accelerating cosmic expansion.
Nothing known can exceed the speed of light. This cosmic limit marks the frontier of modern physics and reveals the limits of our laws of space and time. But what would it really look like?
The Kuiper Belt, beyond Neptune, is filled with small bodies. These primitive objects are a fossil record of the early Solar System and the main source of short-period comets.
We commonly refer to meteors as "shooting stars," the bright lights that streak across the sky. Scientifically, the distinction is crucial. A meteorite is a rock that survives the atmosphere, unlike a meteor, which disintegrates.
New simulations reveal how rotating black holes convert their energy into cosmic particle jets, combining magnetism, relativity, and turbulence in a dance that redefines the boundaries of modern astrophysics.
Astronomy and astrology are often confused, but one is based on science and the other on tradition. Today on Meteored, we’ll explain their essential differences and why it’s important to distinguish between them.
The October sky presents us with a spectacle of bright planets, meteor showers, and observational challenges that await us, reminding us that astronomy is within reach of any pair of curious eyes.
At the speed of light, Mars would be minutes away. However, real missions take months. Why is traveling to the Red Planet such a fascinating orbital challenge?
Astronomers have discovered 2025 PN7, a "quasi-satellite" orbiting Earth. While not a true moon, it reveals the fascinating dynamics of our cosmic neighborhood.
Black holes are regions of space-time where gravity is so intense that nothing escapes. From their anatomy to their cosmic impact, we explore how they form, classify, and detect.
The ancient Mayan civilization, famous for its complex calendar, hid an astonishing astronomical code, and recent discoveries reveal how they tracked the planets, demonstrating their profound connection to the Universe.
The Epsilon Perseid meteor shower could light up the September sky tonight, peaking today, on the 9th of September. We'll tell you where it originates and give you practical tips for observing it.
