Astronomers Capture First-Ever Image of a Dead Star That Exploded Twice in Rare Supernova Event
- Saturday July 5, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have captured the first-ever image of a white dwarf star undergoing a rare double-detonation supernova. Using the Very Large Telescope, the team revealed that such explosions can occur without a star reaching the Chandrasekhar limit. The findings, published in Nature Astronomy, could reshape existing theories about stellar death and imp...

A Planet with a Death Wish: How HIP 67522 b Is Forcing Its Star to Explode
- Thursday July 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA-backed astronomers have identified HIP 67522 b, a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting extremely close to its star, causing massive magnetic explosions. For the first time, a planet has been shown to trigger solar flares on its host star, highlighting a new era in exoplanet and stellar magnetic research.

Webb Telescope Spots Possible Jellyfish Galaxy 12 Billion Light-Years Away
- Thursday July 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified a possible jellyfish galaxy about 12 billion light-years away. Named COSMOS2020-635829, it shows tentacle-like streams of gas and stars trailing off one side—likely formed through ram pressure stripping in a dense cluster. If confirmed, it would be the most distant jellyfish galaxy ...

Astronomers Discover Baby Planets Taking Their First Steps in Nearby Stellar Nursery
- Monday June 30, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have detected early signs of planet formation in 27 young protoplanetary disks within the Ophiuchus star-forming region, just 460 light-years away. High-resolution imaging revealed spiral and ring patterns forming earlier than expected, suggesting stars and planets may grow together from infancy. The findings bridge a knowledge gap betw...

Supermassive Black Hole Burps Matter at Near-Light Speeds After Consuming Gas Too Fast
- Wednesday June 25, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers observed a supermassive black hole expelling gas at nearly a third the speed of light after consuming matter too fast. This outflow could suppress star formation by heating and ejecting gas, revealing how black holes regulate galaxy evolution. The finding helps decode the feedback mechanisms of quasars and active galactic nuclei in shap...
