We measure the extremely long distances between things in space by light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at about 300,000 kilometres per second.

The lack of object-level annotations poses a significant challenge for object detection in remote sensing images (RSIs). To address this issue, active learning (AL) and semi-supervised learning (SSL) ...

When NASA’s DART spacecraft collided with a small asteroid moon in late 2022, the impact made history. It was the first ...

Around seven asteroids or comets are thought to hit Saturn every year, but we have never spotted one in the act. Now, it ...

Abstract Motivated by the efficiency of spherical harmonics (SH) in representing various physical phenomena, we propose a Holistic panoramic 3D scene ...

The telescope has the world's largest digital camera, which is the size of a small car, weighs 2,800 kg, and boasts a ...
