The deal is done for the new underwater vehicle that will replace Ran, the submarine that was lost under a glacier in Antarctica in 2024. A large donation means that […]
Advances in machine learning over the past decade have resulted in a proliferation of algorithmic applications for encoding, characterizing, and acting on complex data that may contain many high dimensional […]
We present a web-based application designed to simulate rotational light curves of small airless Solar System bodies under user-defined geometrical and physical conditions.
Editor’s note: If we aspire to mount expeditions to new worlds and then embrace the task of characterizing and quantifying whatever life forms we find, the ability to map and […]
Predicting local weather extremes remains one of the greatest hurdles in meteorology, which requires high-resolution, reliable humidity data. A new study unveils a breakthrough: the first high-resolution Global Navigation Satellite […]
A multi-institutional team co-led by Carnegie Science’s Michael L. Wong and Caleb Scharf of the NASA Ames Research Center has received a prestigious $5 million, five-year NASA Interdisciplinary Consortia for […]
Directly imaging exoplanets is a formidable challenge due to extreme contrast ratios and quasi-static speckle noise, motivating the exploration of advanced post-processing methods.
This chapter attempts to encompass and tackle a large problem in Astrovirology and Astrobiology. There is a huge anthropomorphic prejudice that although life is unlikely, the just-right Goldilocks terrestrial conditions […]
![(A) Non-local turbulence as a function of Local True Solar Time (LTST) for spring 835 (Sol 200) and autumn (Sol 591) on Mars [reproduced from Figure 2 of Chatain et al. 2021]. (B) 836 Recreated analysis showing non-local turbulence (Pa) as a function of LTST for Sol 200 (blue) 837 and Sol 591 (orange). The turbulence peaks during the daytime, around 12–13 hours LTST, with 838 minimal activity at night. (C) Scatter plots of horizontal wind speed (m/s) as a function of non839 local turbulence (Pa) for Sol 200 (blue) and Sol 591 (orange). Higher wind speeds are associated 840 with increased turbulence, with Sol 591 exhibiting stronger winds overall.

A new artificial intelligence tool developed by researchers at the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa is making it easier for scientists to explore complex geoscience data—from tracking sea levels […]
Editor’s note: for more than half a century we have been learning how to use the viewpoint from space to study our home world. The instruments we have developed often […]
