Astronomers Spot a High-Speed Star That May Carry a Planet With It
- Friday February 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have identified a celestial object moving through the Milky Way at over 1.2 million mph. Believed to be a small star with a possible massive exoplanet, the discovery could mark the fastest-known planetary system. If its speed exceeds 1.3 million mph, it may eventually escape the galaxy. Scientists are still verifying whether it is the s...

A Star With a Planet May Be Racing Through the Galaxy at Record Speed
- Wednesday February 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have identified a potential record-breaking exoplanet system moving at 1.2 million mph. Detected through microlensing, the discovery suggests a low-mass star with an orbiting planet is racing through the Milky Way. Data from the Keck Observatory and ESA’s Gaia satellite indicate a high-speed celestial body that may eventually escape t...

Supernova Remnant G278.94+1.35 is Closer to Earth, Claims New Study
- Friday January 10, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers discovered that the supernova remnant G278.94+1.35 is located just 3,300 light years away, much closer than previously believed. Initially thought to span over 500 light years, it is now estimated to measure around 189 by 182 light years. Named "Diprotodon" after Australia’s extinct giant marsupial, this structure remains in an expand...
