Scientists Just Solved the Mystery of the Moon’s Lopsided Dust Halo
- Sunday November 9, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have solved why the Moon’s dust cloud is uneven: heat. Using computer models, researchers found that meteor impacts on the Moon’s sunlit surface fling 6–8% more dust into space than on the cold night side, creating a lopsided halo. NASA warns this dust could threaten future landers and astronauts.

NASA and ESA Trace Mysterious Lunar Flashes to Meteors and Gas Leaks
- Wednesday October 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Transient Lunar Phenomena are mysterious bursts and glows observed on the Moon, lasting from milliseconds to hours. NASA and ESA research show that these events often result from meteoroid impacts, radon gas outgassing, and dust charged by solar wind, illuminating the Moon’s dynamic surface in surprising ways.

Saturn’s Moon Titan Breaks One of Chemistry’s Oldest Rules, NASA Study Reveals
- Friday October 24, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Saturn’s moon Titan has shocked scientists by breaking a key chemistry rule. NASA and Chalmers University researchers found that polar and nonpolar molecules, usually immiscible, can mix under Titan’s extreme cold. The discovery deepens our understanding of prebiotic chemistry and could reveal how life’s building blocks form in frigid extrate...

Lunar Samples Reveal Far Side of the Moon Is Cooler Than Near Side
- Sunday October 5, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
China’s Chang’e 6 mission has revealed the moon’s far side is cooler than its near side, with samples showing a 180°F difference in formation temperatures. Researchers suggest uneven distribution of radioactive elements shaped these contrasts, offering the first physical evidence of a deep interior thermal divide in lunar history.

India’s PRATUSH Computer Could Detect Signals From the Universe’s First Stars: Report
- Thursday September 4, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
RRI’s PRATUSH—a credit-card-sized computer payload—will detect faint radio signals from hydrogen to study the “Cosmic Dawn”. Designed for deployment on the Moon’s far side, the system offers noise-free, efficient data handling using an SBC and FPGA combo. If successful, it could help determine when the first stars formed and expand our ...

James Webb Telescope Discovers Tiny New Moon Orbiting Uranus
- Saturday August 23, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A team from the Southwest Research Institute has discovered a tiny new moon orbiting Uranus using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The moon, called S/2025 U1, is just 6 miles (10 kilometers) wide, too small for Voyager 2 to detect during its 1986 flyby. This discovery brings Uranus’s total known moons to 29, with S/2025 U1 orbiting 35,000 mil...
