Jupiter’s Moon Io Shows No Magma Ocean as New Findings Explain Volcanic Eruptions
- Saturday December 14, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's latest findings indicate that Jupiter's volcanic moon Io does not have a global magma ocean beneath its surface, debunking previous theories. This conclusion comes from analysis of data from NASA's Juno spacecraft and archival observations from the Galileo mission. The study suggests that Io's interior is more solid than expected, with volca...

Indian Ocean Gravity Hole Might Have Been Formed After the Death of an Ancient Ocean
- Tuesday November 26, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A vast anomaly in the Indian Ocean, called the gravity hole, has been studied for decades due to its weak gravitational pull and significantly lower sea levels. Recent findings link its origins to the ancient Tethys Ocean and mantle changes caused by tectonic plate shifts. Researchers used advanced models to simulate the geological processes, revea...

Earth's Temporary Second Moon: Asteroid 2024 PT5's Two-Month Orbit Explained
- Wednesday September 25, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Asteroid 2024 PT5 will soon become Earth’s temporary second moon, entering orbit on September 29 and departing by November 25. While this mini-moon won't complete a full orbit, it will be caught in Earth’s gravitational pull for nearly two months. Unlike other celestial objects, this asteroid will be too dim to observe without advanced equipmen...

Dwarf Galaxies of Earth’s Second Closest Galaxy Cluster Devoid of Dark Matter Halos
- Monday August 8, 2022
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
In a study led by the University of Bonn and the University of Saint Andrews (Scotland), astronomers suggest that the dark matter halos are absent from the dwarf galaxies in the Fornax Cluster, the second closest galaxy cluster to Earth. The findings were published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Tidal Event Analysis Suggests Black Hole Ripped Apart Star, Sent Its Material Out in Space
- Saturday July 16, 2022
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
In a recent observation, it was established that during a tidal even called AT2019qiz, a black hole not only ripped apart the star and stretches its material, but also threw some intense wind flowing outward, sending the star's material out into space. While black holes are known to engulf the cosmic bodies, this research is crucial for understandi...

Black holes are intriguing and mysterious objects. They are dreaded, too, because their gravitational pull is so strong that they do not allow anything to pass through them, not even light, except on the rare occasions when they feed. When a black hole pulls in gas and dust from an orbiting star, it sends out spectacular bursts of X-ray that bounce...
