Planetary Surface Navigation And Exploration

Universe Optics2021-02-11T11:39:34-05:00

In the quest to explore the solar system and all the celestial bodies, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (more commonly known as NASA) is continuously sending its mechanical astronauts to outer space for planetary surface navigation. Be that as it may, capturing high-resolution images in a volatile space environment [...]

Hurricane Study And Detection

Universe Optics2020-10-19T13:16:01-04:00

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has the responsibility of announcing and categorizing all hurricane and cyclone activity in and around North America. This includes the expected track of the storm, the size, rainfall, storm surges and other aspects that go along with Atlantic and Pacific storm formations. These storms are [...]

Camera Shy Black Holes

Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:30-04:00

In April astronomers announced what is quite possibly, the most extraordinary piece of scientific news ever. They had at last captured an image of the unobservable, always illusive, black hole – cosmic abyss so deep and dense that not even light can escape it. […]

3D Simulations Of Black Hole Dynamics

Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:34-04:00

In the past, 3D simulations of black hole dynamics have modelled plasma made of electrons and positrons as a continuum. Recently, and for the first time, a team of astrophysicists have calculated how individual particles of matter and antimatter swirl around a rotating black hole. […]

Images From Space

Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:13:27-04:00

Globally, the fascination with deep space began in the early 1900’s. Since them, imaging satellites are launched in an ongoing effort to see space more accurately. The images from space sent back will help researchers and scientists gain a clearer understanding of our planetary neighbors and how they affect life [...]
