We know human activity is inflating the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at record rates, restricting the radiation of heat into space and contributing to the overall warming of the planet.Invisible as they are, the ebb and flow of carbon emissions can be hard to wrap our heads around – but not so with new visualizations released by NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio.These jaw-dropping videos demonstrate precisely where the majority of this critical greenhouse gas is being released, and how that changes…

The startup satellite company Albedo is going low to go high. The company has developed technology that takes high-resolution visible and thermal imagery on one platform by flying low-orbit satellites. Albedo co-founder and CEO Topher Haddad said the Broomfield-based company’s technology offers higher-resolution images than what’s currently available. And Albedo is the only satellite company that combines visible and thermal infrared imagery, which provides more detailed data, he said. Flying the satellites in what’s…

Android Auto: Fixing App Display Issues Android Auto is a valuable tool that allows you to project your mobile screen to the center console of your car for greater comfort. However, like other apps, it may present issues such as not showing certain applications. This could be due to the app not being compatible with Android Auto or other important factors. Solution for App Display Issues If you have a compatible app that is not showing in Android Auto, you can try making adjustments on your Android cell…

NASA publishes its Astronomy Picture of Day on a daily basis, featuring stunning photographs of celestial bodies captured by astrophotographers from around the world, and they always leave us mesmerized. At the center of our solar system is the Sun, a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium. It is about 150 million kilometers away from Earth and is the largest object in our solar system, big enough to fit nearly 1.3 million Earths in it. According to NASA, the Sun is about 4.5 billion years old and it is one of the main…

According to reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, Instagram is working on the ability for users to create posts visible only to Close Friends. If this feature ever launches, it means you can post dorky content, photo dumps, and everything you don’t want everyone to see on your feed except your closest friends. Of course, besides the personal photos and videos, content creators and influencers could have yet another way to monetize their content by adding exclusive information for Close Friends.…

On May 5, there will be a penumbral lunar eclipse or Chandra Grahan that may be seen from a significantly larger section of the globe. On April 20, observers witnessed a rare hybrid solar eclipse in numerous locations around the world, and a brief total solar eclipse could be seen.  Will the moon eclipse be visible in India? The Earth's shadow covers a significantly larger area than the Moon since it is much bigger than the latter. Due to this, more regions of the planet can see lunar eclipses than solar…

A research group from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has significantly improved visible light absorption in Ce/TiO2 by doping cerium in the TiO2 lattice, resulting in a high photocurrent density and better separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. This study presents a practical strategy for developing efficient visible light-activated rare earth-doped photocatalysts.Visible Light Absorption of Titanium Dioxide Through Cerium Synchronous Doping in AnataseThe introduction of rare earth elements into…

British physicist Jessica Wade has made it her mission to increase women scientists' visibility online. By day, Jessica Wade spends her time in a laboratory at Imperial College London surrounded by spectrometers, oscilloscopes—and men. At night, she writes biographies on Wikipedia about women researchers like her who don't have an…

The blazes killed dozens, injured thousands, and left many people homeless. The smoke that previously poured over the Pacific Ocean has since lessened, but the scars on the landscape remain.The Moderate…

When you think of galaxies, you probably imagine bright and flowing images similar to the colorful ones we’ve seen in recent months from NASA and the ESA’s James Webb space telescope. But, not all galaxies are created equal, it seems, as astronomers have discovered what they believe is a “dark galaxy,” a galaxy that doesn’t give off visible light. In most cases, galaxies share the same basic ingredients. They’re usually made up of tons of gas and stars, with dark matter surrounding them all and a black hole…
