Researcher Photographs Giant Solar Tornado and Massive Plasma Eruption at the Same Time
- Monday August 25, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
On August 20, researcher Maximilian Teodorescu captured a rare photo of two dramatic solar events — a giant tornado of plasma rising 130,000 km and an eruptive prominence spanning 200,000 km. Both were shaped by the sun’s unstable magnetic fields. While the prominence did release a CME, it is not aimed at Earth.

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...

NASA’s IXPE Challenges Theories on Black Hole Corona and Polarised X-Ray Emissions
- Saturday August 16, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has made surprising observations in a black hole binary system, detecting a high degree of X-ray polarisation that challenges current models of corona structure and accretion discs. In X-ray binaries, black holes pull matter from nearby stars, forming hot accretion discs and coronas.
