This 2026 will be an unforgettable year for observing the sky, highlighted by total eclipses, blood moons, and historic space missions that will allow us to connect deeply with the universe.

This theoretical spherical region, which envelops the entire Solar System at astonishing distances, is the vast reservoir of billions of long-period comets.
Recent research suggests that powerful stellar explosions bathe star systems in radioactive building blocks, allowing dry, rocky planets like Earth to be extremely common today.
ESA and DLR are seeking participants for SOLIS100 and SMC3 in Cologne, Germany, simulating isolation and the effects of weightlessness for future crewed missions to the Moon and Mars.
The Moon and its movements on its journey around Earth, explained to help you understand the lunar phases and why we see changes in the shadows on its face.
December 2025 brings wonderful celestial events with Jupiter as the star, including the Super Cold Moon and the spectacular Geminid and Ursid meteor showers, along with the Solstice.
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.
