NASA Engineers Rescue JunoCam with Deep-Space Heating Hack
- Thursday July 24, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s JunoCam, once believed nearly lost to Jupiter’s intense radiation, has made a stunning comeback thanks to a bold experiment. Engineers used a process called annealing—heating the camera from afar—to reverse internal damage and restore image clarity. Just in time for a close flyby of the volcanic moon Io, the camera delivered detailed...

Earth to Spin Faster on July 22 to Make It One of the Shortest Days in Recorded History
- Tuesday July 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, Earth will complete its rotation 1.34 milliseconds faster than the usual 24 hours, scientists say. That will make it the second-shortest day ever recorded, just behind July 10, 2025. The trend of shorter days has accelerated since 2020, attributed to factors like the Moon’s position, mass shifts from melting ice, and at...

China’s Tianwen 2 Probe Snaps Striking Views of Earth and Moon While En Route to Asteroid
- Friday July 18, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
China’s Tianwen 2 spacecraft, now millions of kilometers from Earth, captured distant images of Earth and the moon as it journeys to asteroid Kamo'oalewa. Set to collect samples by 2026 and return them in 2027, the mission could reveal insights into the solar system’s formation—before continuing on to a second deep-space target, comet 311P/PA...

Earth’s Spin to Speed Up Briefly, Causing Shorter Days This Summer
- Monday July 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists report that Earth will briefly spin faster on July 9, 22, and August 5, shortening those summer days by 1.3 to 1.5 milliseconds. Though undetectable in daily life, this shift offers clues to how lunar gravity and seasonal changes affect planetary dynamics. Experts note that while timekeeping systems like GPS are unaffected, this rare spe...

Europa Could Briefly Sustain Life When the Sun Becomes a Red Giant Star, Scientists Say
- Saturday June 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists at Cornell’s Carl Sagan Institute propose that Jupiter’s moon Europa could host life for up to 200 million years during the sun’s red giant phase. While Earth would be incinerated, Europa’s subsurface oceans might temporarily support microbial life, offering a final refuge in the solar system and expanding the search for biosigna...
