WELCOME ISSUE 142

Curiosity finds clues to Mars’ watery past

Hubble captures a stunning stellar duo

Baby stars dance in galactic gas and dust

Big asteroids hit Earth more frequently than was thought

Sea level rise slowed down in 2022 , but NASA says it’s just a blip

Two moons of Uranus may have active subsurface oceans

Even calm red dwarf stars rage more violently than the Sun

WHEN STARS GO SUPERNOVA

SPIDERFAB SPACE CONSTRUCTION • The new technology that combines 3D printing and large-scale construction in space

“It’s okay to get really technical with people” • The Everyday Astronaut turns out to be a not-so-everyday kind of person. Here he reveals his one on ones with Elon Musk and how he brings space down to Earth for everyday people

A RADIO TELESCOPE ON THE MOON’S FAR SIDE WILL PEER INTO THE UNIVERSE’S ‘DARK AGES’ • The LuSEE-Night pathfinder is scheduled to launch a few years from now

Bluffer’s guide to ROCKET SCIENCE • Rockets of all kinds are still our only way of reaching space – but just how do they work?

BLACK HOLES SPOTTED ON A COLLISION COURSE • NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has seen the first evidence of black holes in dwarf galaxies about to impact

WHICH PLANETS HAVE RINGS? • Saturn is famously encircled by a bright and complex ring system, but it’s not alone in possessing one

25 GREAT SPACE DAYS OUT • From fascinating hardware and rocket launches to planetariums and observatories, Earth is full of out-of-this-world attractions

HUBBLE IMAGES AFFECTED BY STARLINK STREAKS • Over five per cent of recent shots contained satellite trails

33 YEARS OF HUBBLE • The Hubble Space Telescope has astounded for decades, returning breathtaking images and groundbreaking science from its position high above Earth

IS JUPITER PROTECTING US? • Earth has good reason to be grateful to the king of the Solar System, though its influence isn’t always benign

EARTH SPOUTS ‘BIOSIGNATURES’ INTO SPACE, HINTING THAT OTHER LIFE-BEARING WORLDS MAY DO THE SAME • An unusual form of oxygen produced by plants and bacteria has been found above our planet’s

IS THE MOON WITH THE PLUMES HOME TO LIFE? • Scientists think they've found a way to work out if there’s microbial alien life on Enceladus without plunging into its liquid ocean

EASING THROUGH THE CRACKS • How plumes are understood to be formed on Enceladus

Would any Earth-based observers have been able to see Scholz’s star?

How has cosmology developed the discovery of the cosmic microwave background?

Why do we have to look at asteroids in space rather than on Earth?

What does existing evidence of Planet Nine tell us about the Solar System?

How did you discover a comet?

What can we hope to see from future big telescopes?

What’s the most dangerous incident that has ever happened in space?

WORMHOLES MIGHT BEND LIGHT LIKE BLACK HOLES DO • If these portals exist, they might magnify distant objects according to Einstein’s theory of relativity

HOW WORMHOLES ARE MADE • If these space-time tunnels do exist, what would they look like and how would they come into existence?

WHAT’S IN THE SKY? • What to look out for during this observing period

PLANETARIUM

THIS MONTH’S PLANETS • As we move into late spring, Venus remains a dazzling target

THE SEA OF TRANQUILLITY • Find the Eagle’s landing site in the most famous sea on the Moon

NAKED EYE AND BINOCULAR TARGETS • The spring...
