ESO Captures Clear Images of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Using VLT
- Thursday July 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope has captured the clearest images so far of comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar visitor first spotted on July 1, 2025. Identified by its hyperbolic orbit, the comet is only the third interstellar object recorded passing through our solar system. The VLT’s deep image and timelapse confirm it is...

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...

NASA Study Confirms Solar Storms Prematurely Ended Starlink Satellite's Lifespan
- Wednesday June 11, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A recent study, backed by NASA, reveals that solar storms are causing Starlink satellites to reenter Earth's atmosphere much faster than anticipated. Analysing data from hundreds of Starlink deorbit events between 2020 and 2024, researchers found that heightened geomagnetic activity drastically increases atmospheric drag, leading to quicker orbital...

New Dwarf Planet Discovery Challenges Planet Nine Hypothesis
- Monday June 2, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The discovery of a potential dwarf planet, 2017 OF201, in the farthest reaches of the solar system is reshaping our understanding of space. With a highly elongated orbit and large size, it contradicts the Planet Nine hypothesis, which predicted orbital clustering among distant objects. This finding not only questions the existence of a ninth planet...
