Scientists Finally Discover How Long a Day Lasts on Uranus
- Saturday April 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers confirm Uranus’ rotation period using internal oscillation modeling for the first time. On Uranus, a day just lasts far longer. More precise rotational time observations of the gas giant should enable scientists to plan visits to investigate it. Unlike on Mars and Earth, savage windstorms make it far more difficult to identify the rot...

JWST Captures Unseen Details of Exoplanets in HR 8799 and 51 Eridani Systems
- Thursday April 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured groundbreaking images of exoplanets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani systems. By modifying its coronagraphs, astronomers allowed more starlight to pass through, revealing clearer planetary details. The study, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, highlights the first successful detection of ...

Mysterious Planetary-Mass Objects May Form in Young Star System Clashes
- Wednesday March 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent research challenges traditional views on planetary-mass objects, suggesting they may form through violent interactions between young star systems rather than standard planetary or stellar processes. Simulations indicate these clashes create dense gas filaments that evolve into free-floating objects, often in binary pairs. This discovery expl...

Primordial Helium-3 May Be Locked in Earth’s Core, Study Finds
- Wednesday March 5, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Helium-3, an isotope formed during the solar system's birth, may be trapped in Earth's core, a study suggests. Researchers at the University of Tokyo found that helium can mix with iron at extreme heat and pressure, allowing it to remain in Earth's solid core. This discovery could help determine how quickly the planet formed, with a rapid formation...

UCLA Unveils SPLITTER, a Tethered Jumping Robot for Space Exploration
- Thursday February 13, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Researchers at UCLA’s RoMeLa lab have developed SPLITTER, a robotic system designed for planetary exploration through tethered jumping. The system consists of two quadrupedal robots connected by a tether, allowing efficient movement in low-gravity environments like the Moon and asteroids. Unlike traditional rovers, SPLITTER’s design enables sta...

A Star With a Planet May Be Racing Through the Galaxy at Record Speed
- Wednesday February 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have identified a potential record-breaking exoplanet system moving at 1.2 million mph. Detected through microlensing, the discovery suggests a low-mass star with an orbiting planet is racing through the Milky Way. Data from the Keck Observatory and ESA’s Gaia satellite indicate a high-speed celestial body that may eventually escape t...

- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has recorded the most powerful volcanic eruption on Io, Jupiter’s most volcanic moon. The eruption site, detected on 27 December 2024, is fueled by a massive magma chamber spanning 105,000 square kilometers. The heat energy released is estimated at 80 trillion watts, exceeding Earth’s total power output. The volcanic ac...
