Hubble Captures First Images of Ancient Interstellar Visitor Comet 3I/ATLAS
- Monday July 28, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Hubble has captured images of comet 3I/ATLAS, an ancient interstellar object likely 7 billion years old. As only the third known visitor from beyond the solar system, it offers rare insights into distant planetary systems. With its water ice and D-type asteroid-like dust, 3I/ATLAS is now under global scientific scrutiny before it vanishes back into...

Gemini North Telescope Spots Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Racing Through Solar System
- Friday July 18, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Gemini North has imaged 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object to enter our solar system. Larger than its predecessors and possibly older than our solar system, the comet will pass closest to the Sun on Oct. 30 before returning to deep space. Scientists worldwide are racing to gather data during its brief visit.

ESO Captures Clear Images of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Using VLT
- Thursday July 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope has captured the clearest images so far of comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar visitor first spotted on July 1, 2025. Identified by its hyperbolic orbit, the comet is only the third interstellar object recorded passing through our solar system. The VLT’s deep image and timelapse confirm it is...

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...

NASA’s Hubble and Webb Discover Bursting Star Formation in Small Magellanic Cloud
- Saturday July 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Hubble and Webb telescopes have captured spectacular images of NGC 460 and NGC 456, two star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These young, open clusters are filled with massive, hot stars that trigger new star formation by carving nebulae. The findings provide insights into early universe conditions and interstellar medium behaviour...

New Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Could Reveal Secrets of Distant Worlds
- Saturday July 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have confirmed the arrival of 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever spotted in our solar system. First seen on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey team in Chile, it was quickly identified by its unusual hyperbolic orbit and comet-like tail. Larger and brighter than either 1I/ʻOumuamua or 2I/Borisov, 3I/ATLAS is estimated to b...

New Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Speeds Through Solar System
- Saturday July 5, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have identified 3I/ATLAS as the third confirmed interstellar comet, racing through the solar system at 68 km/s. Discovered on July 1, it will pass near the sun in October. Skywatchers can view this rare object live online tonight, thanks to a live stream by the Virtual Telescope Project using observatories in Italy.

NASA’s IMAP Spacecraft Gears Up for Mission to Explore Solar System’s Edge
- Saturday June 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has begun final preparations at Kennedy Space Center for a launch no earlier than September 2025. The mission will position IMAP at Lagrange Point 1, a million miles from Earth, to study the solar wind and the edge of the heliosphere. The spacecraft, built by Johns Hopkins APL, will fly al...

- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has been delivered to the Astrotech facility near Kennedy Space Center for final preparations ahead of a tentatively planned launch in fall 2025. IMAP will map the heliosphere — the solar wind-driven bubble that shields our solar system from cosmic radiation. It is to orbit near Lagrange...

NASA’s SPHEREx Telescope Begins 3D Infrared Mapping of the Universe
- Monday May 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has officially begun its two-year mission to map the entire sky in infrared light, capturing 3,600 images per day and covering 102 different wavelengths. The observatory aims to chart hundreds of millions of galaxies in 3D and uncover clues about the universe’s earliest moments. It will also trace the presence of ...

Laboratory Test Shows Ion-Molecule Collision Theory Fails to Produce Benzene in Space Conditions
- Thursday April 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A recent laboratory experiment conducted by researchers at JILA and NIST has disproved a long-held theory about how benzene forms in interstellar space. The study tested ion-molecule collisions at near-zero temperatures and extremely low pressure but failed to produce benzene. This challenges earlier theories linking benzene to the formation of car...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking image of NGC 4536, a starburst galaxy 50 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation. The galaxy’s sweeping spiral arms are filled with young blue star clusters and ionized hydrogen gas, indicating rapid star formation. Astronomers believe its bar-like structure channels gas toward t...

Alpha Centauri May Have Sent Millions of Asteroids into the Solar System

A study proposes that Alpha Centauri could be contributing a significant number of asteroids to the solar system. Simulations indicate that around 50 objects from the neighboring star system may enter the Oort Cloud annually. While most pass through due to their high velocity, a few could travel inward. The frequency of such occurrences is expected...
