New Study Models How Interstellar Objects Could Approach and Impact Earth
- Sunday November 30, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study simulating billions of hypothetical interstellar objects finds that potential Earth-crossing bodies would most likely arrive from the solar apex and the galactic plane. The research highlights relative approach patterns rather than predicting real impacts. Scientists emphasise that known visitors like ‘Oumuamua and Borisov pose no dan...

Mars Orbiter Tracks Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS With Unprecedented Precision
- Tuesday November 18, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists mapped the path of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS with ten times greater accuracy using images from ESA’s Mars orbiter. The breakthrough shows how observations from different points in space can improve future planetary defense. The data, the first of its kind from another planet’s orbit, offers a powerful new tool for tracking fast-mov...

Devil Comet’s Water Matches Earth, Strengthening Theory of Cosmic Origins
- Saturday August 23, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers discovered that the water in Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, known as the “Devil Comet,” is nearly identical to Earth’s. Using ALMA and IRTF data, they mapped cometary water for the first time. The findings bolster the theory that comets delivered water to Earth, enabling life’s emergence.
