NASA’s DART Mission Hits Asteroid in First-Ever Planetary Defense Test
🛰️💥 After 10 months flying in space, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – the first planetary defense technology demonstration – successfully impacted its asteroid target on Monday, the agency’s first attempt to move an asteroid in space.
🛰️💥 As a part of NASA’s overall planetary defense strategy, DART’s impact with the asteroid Dimorphos demonstrates a viable mitigation technique for protecting the planet from an asteroid or comet, if one were discovered.
Microsoft, Planet Labs e The Nature Conservancy announced an atlas based on artificial intelligence and satellite imagery
Microsoft Corp., Planet Labs PBC and The Nature Conservancy announced their plans to launch the Global Renewables Watch, a first-of-its-kind living atlas designed to map and measure all edition-scale solar and wind installations on Earth using artificial intelligence and satellite imagery, allowing users to assess progress in the energy transition and track trends over time.

NASA-Built Weather Sensors Capture Vital Data on Hurricane Ian
The image below combines microwave emissions measurements from both COWVR and TEMPEST. White sections indicate the presence of clouds. Green portions indicate rain. Yellow, red, and black indicates where air and water vapor were moving most swiftly. Ian’s center is seen just off of Cuba’s southern coast, and the storm is shown covering the island with rain and wind.
