Solar Wind Cuts Comet Lemmon’s Tail In Rare Disconnection Event
- Wednesday October 15, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astrophotographer Brennan Gilmore captured a rare “disconnection event” on Oct. 2, showing solar wind cutting Comet Lemmon’s glowing green ion tail. The comet, nearing its October 2025 flyby, displayed a vivid coma and long tail—revealing how solar activity reshapes comets in real time.

Physicists Identify Loophole in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle While Preserving Its Validity
- Monday September 29, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Physicists have identified a loophole in Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle that allows simultaneous measurement of a particle’s position and momentum in modular form. The approach, demonstrated with trapped ions, avoids breaking the principle itself while promising advances in quantum sensors, navigation systems, and precision clocks.

Scientists Say Solar Flares Are Hotter Than Expected, Could Reach 108 Million Degrees
- Friday September 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A groundbreaking study shows ions in solar flares can reach 108 million°F, about six times hotter than earlier estimates. The research explains decades-old mysteries in flare spectra and urges new “multi-temperature” models to better forecast space weather, protecting satellites, astronauts, and communications from hazardous solar storms.

Scientists Recreate Universe’s First Molecules, Challenging Early Star Formation Theories
- Tuesday August 19, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have recreated helium hydride ions, the universe’s first molecules, under lab conditions. The study reveals these ions were far more effective in driving early star formation than older theories suggested. Published in Astronomy and Astrophysics, the research reshapes understanding of early cosmic chemistry and challenges assumptions a...

NASA Study Finds Solar Wind Could Be Key to Water Formation on the Moon
- Wednesday April 16, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A recent study indicates that water on the lunar surface may come from the solar wind. The results suggest that other airless bodies in the solar system may also have water on their surfaces, therefore highlighting the possibility of finding such water on the surface of other such objects.

James Webb Telescope Captures Neptune’s Auroras in Stunning Detail
- Monday March 31, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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...

Newly Discovered Oxygen Reaction Existed in Primitive Atmosphere, Sheds Light on Origin of Life
- Saturday January 4, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have uncovered a new way oxygen could form in carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres without the involvement of life. The discovery, led by researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, shows that a reaction between helium ions and CO2 can produce molecular oxygen. This process challenges traditional methods of life detect...
