Over 1 Million Interstellar Objects Could Be Hidden in Our Solar System
- Tuesday February 18, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study reveals that more than 1 million interstellar objects, each larger than the Statue of Liberty, may be residing in the Oort Cloud. These objects, believed to have originated from the Alpha Centauri system, were captured by the Sun’s gravity and are now part of our solar system. Unlike fast-moving interstellar visitors, these objects re...

Comet ATLAS Offers Stunning Display as It Nears the Sun
- Friday January 24, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) recently passed within 8 million miles of the Sun, capturing the attention of astronomers. Observed by NASA and ESA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), the comet’s tail extended dramatically as it encountered intense solar winds, providing a unique opportunity to study the Sun’s impact on comets. The event, wh...

Study Finds Coronal Loop Flickers Could Predict Solar Flares Hours in Advance
- Friday January 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has revealed a potential breakthrough in predicting solar flares. Scientists observed brightness fluctuations in coronal loops—plasma structures in the Sun's atmosphere—that intensify hours before solar flares occur. This discovery, with a prediction accuracy of 60–80%, may provide 2–6 hours of advance warn...

ESA Uses Solar Orbiter to Turn Solar Flares into Sound, Offering New Insights
- Thursday January 16, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaboration with NASA, has used data from the Solar Orbiter mission to convert solar flares into audible sound. By mapping solar flare data into blue circles and pairing them with tones, a new way to experience solar activity has been created. This process is linked to the sun’s 11-year solar cycle, with curr...

What Happened to the Apollo Flags Left on the Moon?
- Thursday January 16, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The flags planted by Apollo astronauts on the moon are likely in poor condition due to harsh lunar conditions. Exposure to intense sunlight and micrometeoroid impacts likely caused the degradation of the flags. Although they may be brittle and faded, these flags remain powerful symbols of the achievements of the Apollo missions. Experts have specul...
