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...

Mysterious Planet Nine May Still Lurk in the Outer Solar System
- Sunday August 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have long speculated about a hidden planet—Planet Nine—lurking beyond Neptune. First proposed in 2016, the theory explains the strange orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects through the gravitational pull of a massive, unseen world. Caltech researchers remain confident, while others suggest alternatives like debris rings or even a bl...

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...

Astronomers Discover Baby Planets Taking Their First Steps in Nearby Stellar Nursery
- Monday June 30, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have detected early signs of planet formation in 27 young protoplanetary disks within the Ophiuchus star-forming region, just 460 light-years away. High-resolution imaging revealed spiral and ring patterns forming earlier than expected, suggesting stars and planets may grow together from infancy. The findings bridge a knowledge gap betw...

James Webb Telescope Captures First Direct Image of Saturn-Mass Exoplanet
- Friday June 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has reached a major milestone by capturing its first direct image of TWA 7 b, a newly discovered Saturn-mass exoplanet orbiting the young star TWA 7. Using a coronagraph to block starlight, Webb identified the planet embedded in the star’s dusty ring system. TWA 7 b is the smallest exoplanet ever imaged dir...

Mars’ Moons Phobos and Deimos Could Be Asteroid Debris, New Study Reveals
- Thursday November 21, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
New research proposes that Mars’ moons, Phobos and Deimos, could have originated from an asteroid torn apart by the planet’s gravity. Simulations show that this shredded asteroid could have formed a ring around Mars, eventually coalescing into the moons. The theory is being tested through the upcoming Mars Moons Exploration mission, which could...
