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...

NASA to Launch Three Rockets in Alaska to Study Auroral Substorms’ Impact
- Saturday March 29, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA is conducting a rocket experiment from Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. Three rockets will launch within a three-hour window to study how auroral substorms influence the Earth's upper atmosphere. Scientists will observe whether auroras drive vertical convection or if acoustic-buoyancy waves spread their energy over a wider region. Vapour t...

Tiny Plasma Jets on Sun Identified as Key Drivers of Solar Wind
- Friday February 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Observations from ESA’s Solar Orbiter have revealed that tiny plasma jets, known as picoflares, are responsible for both the fast and slow components of the solar wind. The discovery challenges previous assumptions that different mechanisms drive these solar wind types. With further research, scientists hope to refine space weather predictions, p...
