Juno Mission Sheds Light on Jupiter’s Storms and Volcanic Activity on Io
- Friday May 2, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Juno probe has uncovered colliding cyclones circling Jupiter’s north pole and flowing magma beneath the crust of its volcanic moon Io. Using thermal and microwave instruments, scientists have tracked atmospheric chaos and subsurface lava flows, offering new insights into the Jovian system’s extreme weather and volcanic activity. These ...

New Study Reveals How Jupiter’s Storms Hide Ammonia
- Thursday May 1, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A new study reveals Jupiter’s monster storms create mushballs—giant hailstones made of ammonia and water. This discovery explains the puzzling absence of ammonia in the planet’s upper atmosphere and suggests similar processes might be happening on gas giants across the universe.

James Webb Telescope Captures Neptune’s Auroras in Stunning Detail
- Monday March 31, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first-ever direct images of Neptune’s auroras, revealing surprising details about the ice giant’s atmosphere. Unlike auroras on Earth, Jupiter, or Saturn, Neptune’s auroras appear across unexpected locations due to its tilted and offset magnetic field. Scientists also detected the presence of H...

Exoplanet WASP-121 b’s Atmosphere Features Iron Rains, Jet Streams, and More
- Thursday February 20, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have uncovered extreme weather patterns on WASP-121 b, a gas giant 900 light-years from Earth. The planet experiences iron rain, with metals vaporizing on its scorching dayside and condensing into liquid at night. Supersonic winds carry elements across its atmosphere, forming powerful jet streams. Using the Very Large Telescope, researc...

Interstellar Object Could Have Shifted Trajectories of Four Planets, New Research Shows
- Tuesday January 21, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A recent study suggests that an interstellar object, possibly as massive as eight times Jupiter, may have passed through the solar system billions of years ago, significantly altering the orbits of its outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Using computer simulations, researchers found that in about 1% of the scenarios, such a close ...

Amateur Astronomer Discovers Unexpected Composition of Jupiter’s Clouds
- Saturday January 11, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent observations by an amateur astronomer reveal that Jupiter’s clouds may not consist of ammonia ice as previously assumed. Using a technique called band-depth analysis, Steve Hill mapped ammonia concentrations in the planet’s atmosphere, finding reflective layers deeper than expected. These findings suggest the clouds may be composed of am...

Ammonium Hydrosulfide Identified as Primary Component of Jupiter’s Clouds, Not Ammonia
- Wednesday January 8, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Jupiter’s clouds, long believed to be made of ammonia ice, are now confirmed to consist primarily of ammonium hydrosulfide combined with photochemical materials. This groundbreaking discovery, achieved through collaboration between amateur and professional astronomers, has redefined our understanding of the planet's atmosphere. Using innovative m...

James Webb Telescope Spots 138 New Asteroids in the Main Belt, Some Heading Towards Earth
- Tuesday December 17, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have discovered 138 new asteroids in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). These decametre-sized asteroids, some of which are on paths that could bring them close to Earth, were identified through a new computational technique. The discovery enhances our understanding of small space...
