Chandra Spots Distant Baby Planet Losing Its Atmosphere Under Intense X-ray Assault
- Saturday July 19, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured a rare glimpse of TOI 1227 b, a young, Jupiter-sized exoplanet losing its atmosphere under intense stellar radiation. Just 8 million years old, the planet is shrinking rapidly as X-rays strip away its mass. Scientists warn it may become a barren rocky core in about a billion years.

Young Exoplanet Spotted Shedding Atmosphere Under Stellar Radiation
- Thursday July 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope have captured a dramatic cosmic event: a baby exoplanet, TOI 1227 b, is being stripped of its atmosphere by powerful X-rays from its host star. Only 8 million years old and orbiting a red dwarf, this Jupiter-sized planet is losing gas at a rate equal to Earth’s entire atmosphere every ...

James Webb Telescope Captures First Direct Image of Saturn-Mass Exoplanet
- Friday June 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has reached a major milestone by capturing its first direct image of TWA 7 b, a newly discovered Saturn-mass exoplanet orbiting the young star TWA 7. Using a coronagraph to block starlight, Webb identified the planet embedded in the star’s dusty ring system. TWA 7 b is the smallest exoplanet ever imaged dir...

New Habitability Model Helps Identify Which Alien Planets Might Be Able to Host Life
- Wednesday June 18, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A NASA-developed model now enables scientists to estimate the likelihood of life on distant planets or moons using limited and uncertain remote-sensing data. By comparing habitat conditions with known lifeforms or hypothetical organisms, the framework offers a probabilistic tool to assess alien environments and improve telescope targeting in the on...

James Webb Telescope Maps Fiery Atmosphere of Turbulent Exoplanet WASP-121b
- Sunday June 8, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the turbulent history of WASP-121b, a scorching exoplanet distorted by its star’s gravity. New atmospheric data reveals unusual molecules like silicon monoxide and methane, shedding light on the planet’s violent migration and extreme climate. These findings challenge current models and enhance un...

New Analysis Weakens Claims of Life on Distant Exoplanet K2-18b
- Thursday May 29, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study led by University of Chicago researchers has reanalyzed James Webb Space Telescope data and found weaker evidence for potential biosignatures on exoplanet K2-18b. Earlier reports had suggested the presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a chemical associated with marine life on Earth. However, the latest analysis reveals that the signals ar...

Quantum Tech Could Finally Let Astronomers Snap Direct Images of Earth-Like Exoplanets
- Tuesday May 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers are harnessing quantum mechanics to build a coronagraph that could directly image Earth-like exoplanets previously obscured by stellar glare. By sorting light waves at the photon level, the device bypasses traditional diffraction limits, revealing faint planetary signals. This breakthrough may redefine how scientists explore distant wor...

New Study Challenges Signs of Life on Exoplanet K2-18b
- Saturday May 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A bold claim of alien life on exoplanet K2-18b is now under scrutiny as a new analysis finds the data too weak to support earlier detections of dimethyl sulfide — a potential biosignature. Experts urge caution, noting that more robust, peer-reviewed evidence is needed before confirming the presence of life or habitable conditions on the planet.
