NASA’s Solar Observatory Sees Two Eclipses in One Day
- Tuesday July 29, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
In a rare celestial event, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured two eclipses on July 25, 2025. First, at 2:45 UTC, the Moon passed between SDO and the Sun, covering about 62% of the solar disk. Just hours later, around 6:30 UTC, Earth itself blocked the Sun entirely from SDO’s perspective. These dual eclipses occurred during SDO’s...

Doomed Exoplanet TOI-2109b Spirals Toward Its Star with Three Possible Fates
- Monday July 28, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The gas giant TOI-2109b, over five times Jupiter’s mass, is spiraling closer to its star in a rare planetary death spiral. With a 16-hour orbit and blistering heat, the exoplanet could either plunge into its host star, be torn apart by tidal forces, or evolve into a rocky super-Earth through photoevaporation. NASA’s TESS and ESA’s Cheops data...

Earth to Spin Faster on July 22 to Make It One of the Shortest Days in Recorded History
- Tuesday July 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, Earth will complete its rotation 1.34 milliseconds faster than the usual 24 hours, scientists say. That will make it the second-shortest day ever recorded, just behind July 10, 2025. The trend of shorter days has accelerated since 2020, attributed to factors like the Moon’s position, mass shifts from melting ice, and at...

Scientists Finally Discover How Long a Day Lasts on Uranus
- Saturday April 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers confirm Uranus’ rotation period using internal oscillation modeling for the first time. On Uranus, a day just lasts far longer. More precise rotational time observations of the gas giant should enable scientists to plan visits to investigate it. Unlike on Mars and Earth, savage windstorms make it far more difficult to identify the rot...
