NASA Missions Uncover a Diverse Galaxy of Super-Earths, Raising New Questions About Planetary Evolution
- Thursday August 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Super-Earths are among the most common planets in the galaxy, yet none exist in our solar system. Larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, they range from ocean-covered worlds to scorched, atmosphere-less rocks. Some orbit within habitable zones, making them prime candidates for life. NASA’s Kepler and TESS missions, along with upcoming telesc...

NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
- Saturday May 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA has delayed its TRACERS mission to no earlier than 2025 to provide additional preparation time for the crew. The mission will send twin satellites to explore how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere, particularly through a process called magnetic reconnection. These high-speed solar particles can trigger auroras and impact satellite...

Supernova Remnants Found in Oceanic Samples, Scientists Look to Moon
- Wednesday March 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have identified supernova debris in deep-sea sediments, including a rare plutonium isotope linked to a kilonova. Researchers believe a neutron star collision occurred nearly 10 million years ago, scattering radioactive material across space. To validate this theory, they plan to analyze lunar soil, which remains undisturbed by Earth's ge...

New Dark Matter Hypothesis Suggests Ionisation Clue in Milky Way’s Core
- Wednesday March 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Researchers propose that an overlooked dark matter candidate may explain unusual ionisation levels in the Milky Way’s Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). This theory suggests that lightweight, self-annihilating dark matter particles could be producing electrons and positrons, influencing cosmic chemistry. The findings challenge conventional views, offe...
