official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY By Jessica Barnett Working together, NASA and IBM Research have developed a new artificial intelligence model to support a variety of weather and climate applications. The new model – known as the Privthi-weather-climate foundational model – uses artificial intelligence (AI) in ways that could vastly improve the resolution we’ll beContinue reading “NASA, IBM Research Release New AI Model for Weather, Climate”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A new, higher-resolution infrared camera outfitted with a variety of lightweight filters could probe sunlight reflected off Earth’s upper atmosphere and surface, improve forest fire warnings, and reveal the molecular composition of other planets. The cameras use sensitive, high-resolution strained-layer superlattice sensors, initially developed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterContinue reading “NASA’s Compact Infrared Cameras Enable New Science”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY A team of astronomers have studied 16 supermassive black holes that are firing powerful beams into space, to track where these beams, or jets, are pointing now and where they were aimed in the past, as reported in our latest press release. Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) NationalContinue reading “Spotted: ‘Death Star’ Black Holes in Action”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The spacecraft already is beyond the distance of Mars and is using ion propulsion to accelerate toward a metal-rich asteroid, where it will orbit and collect science data. NASA’s Psyche spacecraft passed its six-month checkup with a clean bill of health, and there’s no holding back now. Navigators are firingContinue reading “NASA’s Psyche Fires Up Its Sci-Fi-Worthy Thrusters”
