Oldest Rock On Earth Confirmed To Be Over 4 Billion Years Old
- Monday July 7, 2025
- Feature | Hanika Rizo, Jonathan O'Neil, The Conversation
Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago, during the geological eon known as the Hadean. The name "Hadean" comes from the Greek god of the underworld, reflecting the extreme heat that likely characterized the planet at the time.

James Webb Telescope Spots Planet Formation in Harshest Known Galactic Environments
- Sunday June 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that planets can form in extreme radiation zones. A protoplanetary disk called XUE 1, exposed to intense ultraviolet light, still shows signs of water and potential for rocky planet formation. The findings challenge old assumptions and broaden the possible regions where Earth-like planets may emerge.

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...

MAVEN Reveals How Mars Lost Its Atmosphere and Became a Barren World
- Saturday June 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has provided the first direct evidence of "sputtering"—a powerful atmospheric escape process where solar wind particles blast atoms off Mars. The newly published study confirms that this process played a major role in the Red Planet’s transformation from a once-wet, habitable world to its current barren state. Argon ga...

Venus May Be Geologically Active: New Study Reveals Tectonic Processes Shaping Its Surface
- Monday June 2, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Is Venus still geologically alive? New findings using NASA's Magellan data reveal that the planet's surface may be actively reshaped by subsurface plumes, supporting modern tectonic activity. Using NASA’s Magellan data and computer simulations, the study offers compelling evidence that Venus is not geologically dead, with implications for future ...

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...

Alien Life May Survive on Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs, Study Finds
- Wednesday March 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New research explores the possibility of alien life on planets orbiting white dwarfs. While these stellar remnants cool over time, their shrinking habitable zones may still allow biological processes like photosynthesis and UV-driven abiogenesis to occur. A model assessing a planet's energy reception over seven billion years indicates that life-sus...

New Research Reveals Mars’ Red Colour Linked to Ancient Water Presence
- Monday March 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A recent study suggests that Mars’ red hue originates from ferrihydrite, an iron oxide that forms in water-rich environments. Scientists recreated Martian dust in labs and found that the mineral remained stable despite the planet’s dry conditions. Data from orbiting spacecraft and rovers confirm this discovery, reshaping theories about Mars’ ...

Ancient Martian Ocean Shoreline Discovered Beneath Surface by Zhurong Rover
- Monday March 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
China's Zhurong rover has uncovered evidence of an ancient ocean on Mars, with ground-penetrating radar detecting a buried shoreline beneath the Utopia Basin. The rover’s scans revealed sloping sand layers similar to those found on Earth’s beaches, reinforcing theories of long-term water presence. Experts highlight that these formations are not...

Scientists Observe Rare Plastic Ice, A Hybrid Form of Ice and Water, Under Extreme Pressure and Heat
- Thursday February 20, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Researchers have observed plastic ice, a phase where water molecules rotate while staying in a solid structure. The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa and Titan's interiors and could influence nu...

- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Reports from NASA’s Curiosity rover reveal evidence of ancient liquid water on Mars, challenging previous models. Images from Gale Crater show wave-like ripples, similar to Earth’s lakebeds. Scientists suggest the findings indicate Mars once had a denser atmosphere, which allowed liquid water to exist longer than previously believed. This disco...
