JWST Finds Black Hole Between Galaxy Cores, Hinting at Rare Direct Collapse Birth
- Thursday July 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Using JWST, astronomers discovered a black hole between two galaxy cores in the Infinity Galaxy—possibly the first direct evidence of a black hole formed by gas collapse, not stellar death. This rare “heavy seed” black hole challenges standard models and could help explain how supermassive black holes appeared so soon after the Big Bang.

James Webb Telescope Spots Rare ‘Cosmic Owl’ Formed by Colliding Galaxies
- Monday July 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the “Cosmic Owl,” a jaw-dropping image of two colliding ring galaxies forming a structure that resembles an owl’s face. This double-ring formation is extraordinarily rare, and the event is shedding light on galaxy evolution, black hole dynamics, and rapid star formation. Led by Ph.D. student Mi...

Dark Dwarfs: New Star-Like Objects May Reveal Nature of Dark Matter
- Wednesday July 9, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have proposed a new class of stellar objects called “dark dwarfs,” sub-stellar bodies that may glow faintly from the energy released by annihilating dark matter particles. Found near the galaxy’s core, these objects could hold crucial clues about the elusive nature of dark matter. Powered not by fusion but by WIMP-like particles, d...

Webb Telescope Spots Possible Jellyfish Galaxy 12 Billion Light-Years Away
- Thursday July 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified a possible jellyfish galaxy about 12 billion light-years away. Named COSMOS2020-635829, it shows tentacle-like streams of gas and stars trailing off one side—likely formed through ram pressure stripping in a dense cluster. If confirmed, it would be the most distant jellyfish galaxy ...

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...

James Webb Telescope Detects Methanol and Ethanol Near Young Stars, Hinting at Life’s Origins
- Friday June 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s James Webb Telescope has identified ethanol and methanol isotopes around protostars and HD 100453. These discoveries offer valuable clues about the cosmic origins of life, indicating that comets filled with organic molecules might have seeded early Earth.

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.

JWST Reveals Pluto’s Haze Cools Atmosphere, Paints Charon’s Poles Red
- Sunday June 15, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Pluto's thin haze of organic particles, confirmed by JWST’s mid-infrared observations, plays a crucial role in both cooling its mesosphere and launching methane into space. This methane escapes Pluto’s gravity, landing on Charon’s poles where radiation transforms it into reddish tholins. The study highlights how Pluto’s haze shapes not only...

NASA Slightly Raises Odds of Asteroid Hitting the Moon in 2032 After Updated JWST Data
- Tuesday June 10, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA has revised the 2032 impact odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Moon to 4.3%, up from 3.8%, based on new data from the James Webb Space Telescope. Though once feared for its high Earth impact risk, scientists now say it poses no threat and offers critical insights for future planetary defense strategies.
