China builds spy camera so powerful it can see faces from space - Millimetre-level resolution from 100 kilometres could see ...

On decadal timescales, the loss of Arctic ice favors the climate of the south-west of the United States -- and California in particular -- becoming drier on average, especially in winter. This ...

A study led by researchers from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) has used a novel approach to unravel the ...

New research reveals that Arctic sea ice loss can disrupt weather worldwide, making California drier while increasing winter ...

The performance of photovoltaic systems (PV) in northern conditions has been measured at the University of Oulu, Finland, ...

Snow-covered area in February across the western United States was 13 percent below average, at 822,000 square kilometers ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere, and it's melting rapidly. Climate change is causing more intense atmospheric rivers, which can deliver intense ...

Albedo, soon to be the first commercial company to operate in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), has been selected for a Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) opportunity by the Air Force Research Laboratory ...

The idea of flying satellites in "very" low-Earth orbit is not new. Dating back to the dawn of the space age in the late 1950s, the first US spy satellites, as part of the Corona program, orbited the ...

In December 2024, astronomers in Chile spotted a new asteroid streaking through the sky, which they named 2024 YR4. Whats ...

FARGO — Albedo is a word describing the portion of the sun’s radiation reflected from a surface. Most solar radiation passes directly through air with relatively little absorption. The reason ...

This faintness likely contributed to why 2024 YR4 4 eluded detection up until so recently. In addition, the shape of the asteroid, and its albedo - which measures how reflective the asteroid is - is ...
