3D Mapping Reveals 52-Foot Megaripples from Chicxulub Asteroid in Louisiana
- Thursday March 13, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Massive megaripples, formed by the tsunami after the Chicxulub asteroid impact 66 million years ago, have been mapped deep beneath Louisiana using 3D seismic data. The formations, averaging 52 feet in height and spanning 900 square miles, offer new insights into the force of the ancient tsunami and its global impact. Scientists suggest these findin...

Alpha Centauri May Have Sent Millions of Asteroids into the Solar System
- Friday March 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A study proposes that Alpha Centauri could be contributing a significant number of asteroids to the solar system. Simulations indicate that around 50 objects from the neighboring star system may enter the Oort Cloud annually. While most pass through due to their high velocity, a few could travel inward. The frequency of such occurrences is expected...
