Ancient 14,000-Year-Old Solar Storm Revealed as Strongest Ever Recorded in Earth’s History
- Thursday May 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A massive solar storm struck Earth 14,300 years ago, now confirmed as the most powerful ever recorded. Finnish scientists detected it through carbon-14 spikes in Ice Age tree rings. Over 500 times stronger than the 2003 Halloween Storm, this ancient event redefines solar risk and highlights the growing need to safeguard modern infrastructure agains...

Ancient Greenland Rocks Found in Iceland Sheds Light on Late Antique Ice Age
- Wednesday April 23, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A 2025 study led by geologists Christopher Spencer, Ross Mitchell, and Thomas Gernon identifies ancient Greenland rocks embedded in Icelandic cliffs. These rocks, transported by icebergs over 1500 years ago, confirm glacial expansion during the Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA). The findings shed light on past climate anomalies and serve as cruci...

Researchers Find Evidence of Fire Building Techniques in Europe During the Last Ice Age
- Thursday April 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
In the time of the ice age, dating back around 10,000 years, fire was lit by creating various sophisticated hearths of different sizes for purposes such as cooking, heating, or making tools. Scientists found that wood was used as the main fuel, supported by bones and fat later to sustain the fire.

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...

China Loses 26 Percent of Its Glaciers Due to Global Warming, Claims New Study
- Tuesday April 1, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
China's glaciers have shrunk by 26 percent over six decades, with nearly 7,000 small glaciers disappearing. Data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals that glacier area dropped from 59,000 sq km in the 1960s to 46,000 sq km by 2020. Scientists warn that continued ice loss could worsen water shortages. Authorities are trying to slow the proce...

Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000
- Tuesday April 1, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn o...

The James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first-ever direct images of Neptune’s auroras, revealing surprising details about the ice giant’s atmosphere. Unlike auroras on Earth, Jupiter, or Saturn, Neptune’s auroras appear across unexpected locations due to its tilted and offset magnetic field. Scientists also detected the presence of H...

New Study Challenges Claims of Vast Underground Water on Mars
- Thursday March 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Mars’ water history remains a mystery as new research questions the claim that vast amounts of water are stored beneath its surface. A study led by Bruce Jakosky argues that previous estimates of Mars’ mid-crust being saturated with liquid water may be inaccurate. The findings challenge earlier interpretations of seismic data from NASA’s InSi...

- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s most intriguing moons, has long been thought to have water plumes erupting from its underground ocean. However, a recent study proposes an alternative explanation, suggesting the plumes may originate from a semi-liquid layer within the moon’s ice shell. Researchers believe shear heating along fractures creates slushy,...

Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while prece...
