James Webb Telescope Detects Potential Gas Giant Exoplanet Just 4 Light-Years Away
- Friday August 8, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers using JWST have spotted a possible gas giant orbiting Alpha Centauri A, only 4 light-years away. If confirmed, it would be the closest exoplanet to a Sun-like star ever imaged. The discovery could challenge current models of planetary formation in binary systems and open new opportunities for studying nearby worlds.

James Webb Space Telescope Reimagines Hubble’s Deep Field, Unveils Ancient Galaxies
- Tuesday August 5, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The James Webb Space Telescope has re-imaged part of Hubble’s Ultra Deep Field, revealing over 2,500 galaxies in stunning infrared detail. Using its NIRCam and MIRI instruments, Webb observed faint galaxies dating back to just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. This is part of the JADES survey, which includes the deepest mid-infrared...

Brightest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Observed Reveals Cosmic Secrets
- Friday August 1, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
On October 9, 2022, astronomers detected GRB 221009A, the most powerful gamma-ray burst ever recorded, earning the nickname “BOAT” (Brightest Of All Time). This rare, once-in-10,000-year event came from a galaxy 2 billion light-years away and temporarily blinded gamma-ray detectors. It revealed new insights into stellar death, as the associated...

James Webb Telescope Spots Rare ‘Cosmic Owl’ Formed by Colliding Galaxies
- Monday July 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled the “Cosmic Owl,” a jaw-dropping image of two colliding ring galaxies forming a structure that resembles an owl’s face. This double-ring formation is extraordinarily rare, and the event is shedding light on galaxy evolution, black hole dynamics, and rapid star formation. Led by Ph.D. student Mi...

NASA’s Hubble and Webb Discover Bursting Star Formation in Small Magellanic Cloud
- Saturday July 12, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Hubble and Webb telescopes have captured spectacular images of NGC 460 and NGC 456, two star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These young, open clusters are filled with massive, hot stars that trigger new star formation by carving nebulae. The findings provide insights into early universe conditions and interstellar medium behaviour...

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...

Webb Telescope Spots Possible Jellyfish Galaxy 12 Billion Light-Years Away
- Thursday July 3, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified a possible jellyfish galaxy about 12 billion light-years away. Named COSMOS2020-635829, it shows tentacle-like streams of gas and stars trailing off one side—likely formed through ram pressure stripping in a dense cluster. If confirmed, it would be the most distant jellyfish galaxy ...

James Webb Telescope Spots Planet Formation in Harshest Known Galactic Environments
- Sunday June 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that planets can form in extreme radiation zones. A protoplanetary disk called XUE 1, exposed to intense ultraviolet light, still shows signs of water and potential for rocky planet formation. The findings challenge old assumptions and broaden the possible regions where Earth-like planets may emerge.
