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...

New Polar Cataclysmic Variable Identified by Astronomers: What You Need to Know
- Friday March 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have detected ZTF J0112+5827, a newly identified polar cataclysmic variable. This binary system, composed of a white dwarf and a low-mass donor star, features an 80.9-minute orbital period and a strong magnetic field of 38.7 MG. It lacks an accretion disk, with emissions mainly from its accretion stream and magnetic field lines. The sys...

Alpha Centauri May Have Sent Millions of Asteroids into the Solar System
- Friday March 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A study proposes that Alpha Centauri could be contributing a significant number of asteroids to the solar system. Simulations indicate that around 50 objects from the neighboring star system may enter the Oort Cloud annually. While most pass through due to their high velocity, a few could travel inward. The frequency of such occurrences is expected...

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...

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...

Researchers Spot Unusual, Overmassive Globular Clusters in Ultra-Diffuse Galaxy FCC 224
- Friday January 31, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study has uncovered an unexpected globular cluster system in FCC 224, an ultra-diffuse galaxy located in the Fornax cluster. Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Cosmic Web Imager, researchers found that FCC 224 hosts luminous, overmassive globular clusters with unusual properties. The galaxy’s star clusters exhibit narro...
