Two New Exoplanets Found Orbiting a Star in Draco Constellation
- Wednesday April 2, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have identified two exoplanets, TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, orbiting a star 250 light-years away in Draco. The planets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, were detected using NASA’s TESS satellite and the HARPS-N spectrograph. TOI-1453 b is a rocky planet orbiting close to its star, while TOI-1453 c is twice Earth’s size and may have a...

Alien Life May Survive on Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs, Study Finds
- Wednesday March 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New research explores the possibility of alien life on planets orbiting white dwarfs. While these stellar remnants cool over time, their shrinking habitable zones may still allow biological processes like photosynthesis and UV-driven abiogenesis to occur. A model assessing a planet's energy reception over seven billion years indicates that life-sus...

New Research Reveals Mars’ Red Colour Linked to Ancient Water Presence
- Monday March 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A recent study suggests that Mars’ red hue originates from ferrihydrite, an iron oxide that forms in water-rich environments. Scientists recreated Martian dust in labs and found that the mineral remained stable despite the planet’s dry conditions. Data from orbiting spacecraft and rovers confirm this discovery, reshaping theories about Mars’ ...

A Neptune-Like Exoplanet Is Racing Through Space at Record Speed
- Monday February 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have detected an exoplanet racing through space at 1.2 million mph, making it the fastest known planet. The Neptune-sized world orbits a hypervelocity star, first hinted at in 2011 via gravitational microlensing. Astronomers, using Keck Observatory and Gaia data, have confirmed the system’s extreme speed, suggesting it may even leave t...

Astronomers Spot a High-Speed Star That May Carry a Planet With It
- Friday February 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have identified a celestial object moving through the Milky Way at over 1.2 million mph. Believed to be a small star with a possible massive exoplanet, the discovery could mark the fastest-known planetary system. If its speed exceeds 1.3 million mph, it may eventually escape the galaxy. Scientists are still verifying whether it is the s...
