NASA Tests Advanced Infrared Technology to Improve Wildfire Monitoring
NASA tested its Compact Fire Infrared Radiance Spectral Tracker (c-FIRST) over California wildfires to improve real-time fire tracking. Managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the instrument captures high-resolution thermal infrared data, identifying temperature variations across wildfire-affected areas. Experts believe this could help firef...

Satellite Images Reveal the Widespread Destruction of Los Angeles Fires from Space
Satellite images have captured the widespread destruction caused by the ongoing wildfires in Southern California, with over 34,000 acres burned. The Palisades Fire is the largest and most destructive, having devastated Malibu and other areas. Firefighters have successfully protected vital infrastructure like Mount Wilson Observatory and NASA's Jet ...

NASA SWIM Robots Tested for Future Missions to Explore Oceans on Europa
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is testing SWIM robots to potentially explore the subsurface oceans of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, believed to contain conditions suitable for life. The robots are designed to navigate autonomously and gather data through temperature, pH, and chemical sensors, helping scientists identify potential life...

NASA’s Satellite Imagery Shows Antarctic Ice Shelf Crumbling Faster Than Imagined
NASA’s recent study led by researchers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has revealed that Antarctica's coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice. This raises new concern about how fast climate change is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea...
