NASA’s SPHEREx Mission Sends First Space Images Before Full Sky Survey
- Thursday April 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has captured its first images from space, marking a critical milestone before its full-sky infrared survey begins. The observatory, launched on March 11, recorded thousands of light sources, including distant galaxies and stars. Unlike other space telescopes, SPHEREx is designed for large-scale cosmic mapping, scanning th...

Microlightning in Water Droplets Could Explain the Origin of Life on Earth
- Tuesday March 18, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Microlightning, tiny electrical discharges occurring in water droplets from crashing waves or waterfalls, may have played a crucial role in forming organic molecules necessary for life. A study published in Science Advances reveals that these sparks can create carbon-nitrogen bonds, challenging the long-standing Miller-Urey hypothesis. Led by Richa...

Water May Have Formed in the Universe 100 Million Years After Big Bang
- Thursday March 13, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study suggests water formed in the universe just 100–200 million years after the Big Bang, much earlier than previously estimated. Researchers examined ancient supernovas to understand how oxygen combined with hydrogen to create water. If confirmed, these findings could change perspectives on when the conditions for life first emerged. The ...

- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A record-breaking neutrino with 220 quadrillion electron volts has been detected in the Mediterranean Sea. Captured by the KM3NeT deep-sea telescope, this rare cosmic event could be linked to powerful astrophysical phenomena such as black holes or supernovae. Neutrinos, nearly massless particles that rarely interact with matter, provide crucial ins...

Early Supernovas Could Have Created Water in the Universe, Paving the Way for Life 100 Million Years Post-Big Bang
- Friday January 24, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A recent study suggests that supernova explosions, triggered by the death of early stars, could have created significant amounts of water just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Simulations of these early, massive stars show that their explosive deaths may have resulted in the formation of water molecules within the dense hydrogen and oxygen clo...
