Editor’s note: We have mission en route or soon to be launched to visit ice -covered ocean worlds in the Jovian system. Some day we’ll visit Enceladus and other ice-covered […]
In a Context Camera (CTX) image, there is a large angular fragment that appears to have light and dark-toned bands.
Using high-resolution commercial satellite images to help map and monitor Yellowstone’s Thermal Areas
Editor’s note: when we begin to conduct Away Team visits to other worlds that host life we will need to do an assay of how everything on these worlds works […]
Editor’s note: As our ability to study the characteristics of exoplanets that might be habitable increases, the need for metrics whereby various life forms can be discovered i.e. biosignatures – […]
The MERTIS (MErcury Radiometer and Thermal Infrared Spectrometer) instrument onboard the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission will provide mid-infrared data, which will be crucial to characterize the surface mineralogy of Mercury.
Mini-EUSO (Multiwavelength Imaging New Instrument for the Extreme Universe Space Observatory) is a telescope observing the Earth from the International Space Station since 2019.
For decades, agronomists have used remote sensing to monitor key crop parameters like biomass, fractional cover, and plant health. Vegetation indices (VIs) are popular for this purpose, primarily leveraging the […]
The Atacama Desert has long been established as an excellent site for submillimeter observations. Yet identifying potentially optimal locations for a new facility within this region can require long field […]
Thanks to the advances in modern instrumentation we have learned about many exoplanets that span a wide range of masses and composition. Studying their atmospheres provides insight into planetary origin, […]
