Earth’s Mantle Could Be Harbouring Ocean of Magma Formed Billions of Years Ago, Claims Study
- Thursday April 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The study conducted by Boukaré and published on March 26 in the Journal Nature suggests that this molten layer at the core-mantle boundary of the Earth formed the internal thermal structure of the planet and tectonic plates. This may still influence the geochemical process of the Earth today. Further, it suggests a similar magma ocean existence on...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Discovers a Large Number of Unique Rock Samples on Jezero Crater’s Rim
- Thursday April 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's Perseverance rover is exploring the Martian rim of Jezero Crater, a crater filled with rocky outcrops. The mission has cored five rocks, performed up-close analysis of seven rocks, and analysed another 83 from afar using a laser. The diversity of rocks found has exceeded expectations, with tons of fragmented once-molten rocks and formerly un...

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...

Rocky Exoplanets May Be Holding Water in Deep Molten Iron Cores, Reveals Research
- Thursday August 22, 2024
- Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent research has shifted our understanding of water distribution on rocky exoplanets. The study reveals that up to 95 percent of a planet’s water could be sequestered deep within its molten iron core, challenging previous assumptions about water-rich worlds. This finding raises the possibility that much more water is hidden within the planet, ...

NASA Confirms Existence of More Than 5,000 Exoplanets Beyond Our Solar System
- Tuesday March 22, 2022
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
NASA has said that these exoplanets include small, rocky worlds like Earth and “super Earths” which are larger than our own. There are also gas giants several larger than Jupiter and “mini-Neptunes.” Some of these planets orbit two stars at once and others stubbornly revolve around the collapsed remnants of dead stars.
