MAVEN Reveals How Mars Lost Its Atmosphere and Became a Barren World
- Saturday June 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has provided the first direct evidence of "sputtering"—a powerful atmospheric escape process where solar wind particles blast atoms off Mars. The newly published study confirms that this process played a major role in the Red Planet’s transformation from a once-wet, habitable world to its current barren state. Argon ga...

Venus May Be Geologically Active: New Study Reveals Tectonic Processes Shaping Its Surface
- Monday June 2, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Is Venus still geologically alive? New findings using NASA's Magellan data reveal that the planet's surface may be actively reshaped by subsurface plumes, supporting modern tectonic activity. Using NASA’s Magellan data and computer simulations, the study offers compelling evidence that Venus is not geologically dead, with implications for future ...

Doubt Cast On Claim Of 'Hints' Of Life On Faraway Planet
- Saturday May 24, 2025
- World News | Agence France-Presse
Several recent studies have found that there is not enough evidence to support astronomers' claims of the most promising hints of alien life yet on a distant planet.

Scientists Predict Exact Date Life On Earth Will End: Study
- Tuesday May 13, 2025
- Science | Edited by Nikhil Pandey
A supercomputer simulation predicts that life on Earth will end in 1 billion years due to the depletion of oxygen caused by the Sun's increasing heat and brightness, ultimately rendering the planet uninhabitable.

Astronomers Discover Closest Known Molecular Cloud to Earth
- Saturday May 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have discovered Eos, a massive, crescent-shaped molecular cloud only 300 light-years from Earth, making it the closest known cloud of its kind. Unlike most molecular clouds, Eos contains little carbon monoxide, which is typically used to detect such formations. Instead, it was found by tracking the faint glow of hydrogen. Shaped by cosm...

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.

Earth-Like Exoplanets More Common Across The Cosmos: Study
- Sunday April 27, 2025
- Science | Asian News International
The findings in the study were made via microlensing, an observational effect that occurs when the presence of mass warps the fabric of space-time to a detectable degree.

Super Earths are Quite Common Outside the Solar System, New Study Reveals
- Saturday April 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Using the microlensing technique, KMTNet studied the exoplanet, which is twice as big as Earth, yet smaller than Neptune. It is believed that there are more such super-Earths outside our solar system. It is common to have such planets orbiting their stars.

Water on Ancient Mars? New Study Challenges the Cold Planet Theory
- Saturday April 26, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that early Mars was surprisingly wet, featuring extensive networks of lakes and river basins shaped by rainfall and snowfall. This challenges long-held views of a predominantly cold and icy ancient Mars. Despite current climate models struggling to explain sustained liquid water on the Red Pl...

Earth’s Mantle Could Be Harbouring Ocean of Magma Formed Billions of Years Ago, Claims Study
- Thursday April 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The study conducted by Boukaré and published on March 26 in the Journal Nature suggests that this molten layer at the core-mantle boundary of the Earth formed the internal thermal structure of the planet and tectonic plates. This may still influence the geochemical process of the Earth today. Further, it suggests a similar magma ocean existence on...

Astronomers Detect Methane in the Atmosphere of the Nearest T Dwarf Star to Earth
- Saturday April 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have detected methane in the nearest known T dwarf, offering new insight into its atmospheric composition. The study further highlights that the carbon abundance in the planet is estimated to be -1.5 dex, while the effective temperature could be around 1,000 K. The author of the paper further revealed that the low metallicity of the T ...
