  • James Webb Space Telescope Spots Massive Black Hole With Half the Mass of Its Surrounding Galaxy
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Monday November 4, 2024
    A groundbreaking discovery has been made with the identification of a remarkably massive black hole in the quasar ULAS J1120+0641. This black hole, with a mass of 1.4 billion solar masses, constitutes nearly half of the total mass of its host galaxy. Observations were made using the James Webb Space Telescope, which provided unprecedented detail in...

  • Indian Scientists Discover A Massive Exoplanet That is Five Times Larger Than Earth
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Tuesday October 29, 2024
    Indian scientists have identified a new exoplanet named TOI-6651b, which is five times larger than Earth and has a mass around 60 times greater. Located in the Neptunian desert, it orbits a Sun-like star every 5.06 days. The planet's composition suggests unique evolutionary processes, providing valuable insights into how such dense exoplanets form ...

  • Astronomers Discover 1-Cyanopyrene in Interstellar Space Revealing Carbon Secrets
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Tuesday October 29, 2024
    Astronomers have discovered a new organic molecule, 1-cyanopyrene, in interstellar space. This finding challenges the long-held belief that carbon-rich compounds cannot survive harsh conditions in space. Detected in the Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, this discovery opens new avenues for understanding how carbon behaves in the universe. Researchers empha...

  • Astronomers Successfully Detect Brown Dwarfs in a Distant Star Cluster
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Friday October 25, 2024
    For the first time, astronomers have detected brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way in the star cluster NGC 602, situated approximately 200,000 light-years away in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Utilising the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team sought young brown dwarf candidates in an environment that resembles the early universe, with limited h...

  • Astronomers Confirm Brown Dwarf Gliese 229B as Twin Pair Orbiting in 12 Days
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Saturday October 19, 2024
    Scientists have discovered that Gliese 229B, the first brown dwarf discovered 30 years ago, is actually two brown dwarfs orbiting close to each other. This unexpected find was made using the Very Large Telescope in Chile, solving a long-standing puzzle about the object's dim appearance. The twins, Gliese 229Ba and Gliese 229Bb, orbit each other in ...

  • 3 Decades Later, First Brown Dwarf Ever Found Offers A Surprise
    World News | Reuters | Saturday October 19, 2024
    In 1995, astronomers confirmed the discovery for the first time of a brown dwarf, a body too small to be a star and too big to be a planet - sort of a celestial tweener. But it turns out that was not the full story.

  • NASA’s Hubble and New Horizons Collaborate for Uranus Observation, Shedding Light on Exoplanet Imaging
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Friday October 11, 2024
    NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons spacecraft teamed up for a unique dual observation of Uranus, providing valuable insights into planetary atmospheres. Hubble captured high-resolution images, revealing atmospheric features, while New Horizons, 6.5 billion miles away, saw the planet as a small dot. This combined data helps researche...

  • New Group of Distant Objects Suggests Our Solar System May Have a Second Kuiper Belt
    Written by Gadgets 360 Staff | Saturday September 21, 2024
    Astronomers have discovered 11 objects beyond the Kuiper Belt, suggesting the existence of a second belt, dubbed "Kuiper Belt 2." Located between 70 and 90 AU from the sun, this new region could redefine our understanding of the solar system's size and structure. The discovery was made using the Subaru telescope in collaboration with NASA’s New H...
