Hubble Unveils Dark Matter Web in Stunning Abell 209 Galaxy Cluster Image
- Sunday July 20, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has released a stunning new image of Abell 209, a massive galaxy cluster 2.8 billion light-years away in Cetus. The golden cluster houses over 100 galaxies, but beneath them lies an invisible web of hot gas and dark matter. Using gravitational lensing, Hubble reveals curved arcs of light from background galaxies,...

Crystalline Ice Discovered in Space: New Study Reveals Hidden Order in Cosmic Ice
- Tuesday July 15, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A groundbreaking study from University College London and the University of Cambridge reveals that water ice in space, long believed to be completely amorphous due to extreme cold, may actually contain up to 25% crystalline structure. Simulations and X-ray diffraction experiments confirm the presence of nanocrystals in so-called low-density amorpho...

James Webb Telescope Spots Rare ‘Cosmic Owl’ Formed by Colliding Galaxies
- Monday July 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the “Cosmic Owl,” a jaw-dropping image of two colliding ring galaxies forming a structure that resembles an owl’s face. This double-ring formation is extraordinarily rare, and the event is shedding light on galaxy evolution, black hole dynamics, and rapid star formation. Led by Ph.D. student Mi...

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...

Einstein Probe Detects Mysterious X-ray Flare with Record-Long Emission
- Tuesday May 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
An international team of astronomers has detected a peculiar fast-evolving X-ray transient, EP241021a, using China’s Einstein Probe. Unveiled in a May 12 arXiv paper, this transient stood out due to its long-lasting emissions lasting over 79 days—unprecedented among FEXTs. EP241021a also produced optical and radio emissions, suggesting a multi-...

Russian Researchers Discover 11 New Active Galactic Nuclei In Spektr-RG X-ray Survey
- Saturday May 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
In a significant step for extragalactic astronomy, researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences have identified 11 new active galactic nuclei (AGNs) through the ART-XC telescope aboard the Spektr-RG space observatory. These AGNs, classified as Seyfert galaxies, span redshifts from 0.028 to 0.258 and display X-ray luminosities typical for the pr...

- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New research from the DESI project suggests that dark energy, once thought to be a constant force, may actually be changing over time. This challenges long-held cosmological models that assume a stable influence of dark energy on the universe’s expansion. By mapping 15 million galaxies, DESI’s data raises new questions about cosmic evolution. S...
