All mission instruments have successfully deployed, and SPHEREx and PUNCH mission teams will wait to confirm signal. Watch as SPHEREx slowly moves away from the rocket's second stage and begins its journey.

NASA's PUNCH mission officially begins! 🎉 After a successful launch and deployment, mission controllers have confirmed full acquisition of signal from the four small satellites, indicating that they are functioning normally and at full power. More: go.nasa.gov/3R63KQk

Queensland, Australia faced widespread flooding after Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred struck. This Copernicus EU Sentinel-1 radar composite image shows the extent of the flooding with flooded areas in red - it was created using two images: one from before and one after the floods.

New paper: turns out you can train deep nets without normalization layers by replacing them with a parameterized tanh()

Nothing to see here. Just JWST 🔭 actually IMAGING A PLANETARY SYSTEM AROUND ANOTHER STAR. Go NASA science!!!

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on March 28, peaking at 11:21am ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.1. go.nasa.gov/3FWnqnr

🧵1/3 A new space telescope opens its eyes 👀 Launched on March 11, NASA’s PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission has opened its instrument doors to capture “first light,” the mission’s first images of the Sun’s outer atmosphere and surrounding space.

How do wildlife respond to eclipses? NASA Citizen Science and the Eclipse Soundscapes project now have some answers! They’ll be sharing their findings in a free webinar tomorrow, May 7, at 2pm ET. Register here: go.nasa.gov/42KDF07 During the April 8, 2024, total solar

"Training deep learning models on petabyte-scale Earth observation (EO) data requires separating compute resources from data storage. However, standard PyTorch data loaders cannot keep modern GPUs utilized when streaming GeoTIFF files directly from cloud storage. In this work, we

Can AI help solve Millennium Math problem in Fluid dynamics? We take an important step in this direction in our recent paper with physics-informed learning: High-Precision PINNs in Unbounded Domains: Application to Singularity Formulation in PDEs We develop a modular and a
