Young Exoplanet Spotted Shedding Atmosphere Under Stellar Radiation
- Thursday July 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope have captured a dramatic cosmic event: a baby exoplanet, TOI 1227 b, is being stripped of its atmosphere by powerful X-rays from its host star. Only 8 million years old and orbiting a red dwarf, this Jupiter-sized planet is losing gas at a rate equal to Earth’s entire atmosphere every ...

Uranus Found Emitting Internal Heat, Reviving Hopes for Flagship NASA Mission
- Thursday July 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have discovered that Uranus emits 12% more heat than it receives from sunlight, contradicting past data from Voyager 2. The internal warmth likely comes from leftover energy in the planet’s core, offering clues to its tilt and interior structure. This unexpected heat has intensified calls for a flagship NASA mission to Uranus. Scienti...

Massive Boulders Ejected by DART Mission Could Complicate Future Asteroid Deflection
- Tuesday July 15, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s DART mission successfully deflected an asteroid but also unleashed high-velocity boulders with unexpected momentum. These chaotic ejecta may alter asteroid spin and orbit, complicating future deflection strategies. A new study highlights the importance of accounting for such forces in planetary defence. ESA’s Hera mission will further in...

New Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Could Reveal Secrets of Distant Worlds
- Saturday July 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have confirmed the arrival of 3I/ATLAS, only the third interstellar object ever spotted in our solar system. First seen on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey team in Chile, it was quickly identified by its unusual hyperbolic orbit and comet-like tail. Larger and brighter than either 1I/ʻOumuamua or 2I/Borisov, 3I/ATLAS is estimated to b...
