Astronomy news: discoveries, sky events, space science

Coverage pillars

• Deep sky discoveries: JWST images, Hubble archives, galaxy formation, stellar nurseries, and black hole physics.
• Worlds beyond: exoplanet discoveries, atmospheres, habitability signals, transit and radial velocity breakthroughs.
• Sky tonight: meteor shower tonight timing, solar eclipse and lunar eclipse dates, occultations, conjunctions.
• Near-Earth objects: asteroid near Earth tracking, impact risk assessments, deflection missions, small-body science.
• Space weather: aurora borealis and southern lights forecasts, solar flares, coronal mass ejections, geomagnetic storms.
• Missions and instruments: NASA news and international missions, launch windows, instruments, data releases, peer-reviewed results.

Verification standard for astronomy news

• Primary material: peer-reviewed papers, mission press kits, instrument tech notes, observatory logs, and official ephemerides.
• Method notes: timestamps, exposure details, calibration context, and reproducible calculations before publication.
• Transparent edits: if facts change, headlines and copy update with visible timestamps. Opinion is labeled as opinion.

Live coverage rhythm in space and astronomy news

When the sky changes fast you see concise time-stamped updates first. Next come verified quotes from mission teams, annotated images, charts in coverage pieces, and short analysis that clarifies what the signal means and why it matters.

Daily cadence for sky watchers

• Morning setup with overnight observations, mission notes, and watch lists for sky events.
• Midday sweep to fold in spectra, light curves, and model updates.
• Evening wrap that distills visibility windows, best-time viewing guidance, and what to watch next.
