James Webb Telescope Spots 138 New Asteroids in the Main Belt, Some Heading Towards Earth
- Tuesday December 17, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have discovered 138 new asteroids in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). These decametre-sized asteroids, some of which are on paths that could bring them close to Earth, were identified through a new computational technique. The discovery enhances our understanding of small space...

Researchers Propose New Methods to Spot Atom-Sized Primordial Black Holes Moving Across Solar System
- Thursday November 28, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent studies suggest that microscopic primordial black holes may exist within the solar system, potentially impacting planetary orbits and satellite movements. These small, early-universe black holes could also contribute to the mystery of dark matter, which makes up 85% of the universe's mass. Methods are being developed to detect their gravitat...

New Lunar Map Attempts to Identify the Origin Impact Craters of Rock Samples
- Tuesday November 26, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new map of the moon’s Mare Orientale basin highlights areas containing original impact melt. These findings could help date the basin’s formation, which is estimated to be 3.8 billion years old. Scientists believe this research may reveal Earth’s early impact history while guiding future lunar sample-return missions. The map also distinguis...

NASA's Voyager 2 Finds Clues of Ancient Ocean on Uranus' Moon Miranda
- Monday November 4, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent analysis of images captured by NASA's Voyager 2 has suggested that Miranda, a moon orbiting Uranus, may have once contained a significant ocean beneath its icy exterior. Research led by Tom Nordheim at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory reveals that this ocean could have existed hundreds of millions of years ago, driven by tidal forces...

Phosphorus Grains in Ryugu Samples Offer Insights into Earth’s Early Life Chemistry
- Wednesday October 23, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have discovered phosphorus-rich grains in samples from the asteroid Ryugu, brought back by Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission. These grains, thought to have come from the outer Solar System, may have interacted with early Earth’s water, releasing essential nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. This interaction could have played a role in th...
