Photographic lenses for large format CCD imaging-standard and custom designs
Depth of field is often talked about as one of the fundamental concepts in the capture of images. A photographer or application will carefully select the depth of field in any composition in order to sufficiently capture their intended perspective. […]
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 [...]
The global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent decades. Rising sea levels are a result of global warming and have now become a huge cause of concern. […]
Governments all over the world are joining forces to address the issue of climate change. With the increase in global warming driven by human greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns, space agencies have also entered the fight to heal the Earth’s climate. [...]
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 [...]
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. […]
Jupiter may be one of the most recognizable sights in the night sky, but it still manages to surprise not only everyday people, but also the scientists that continue to study it. The Juno spacecraft successfully entered the orbit of Jupiter on July 4, 2016. In early 2018, it was [...]
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. […]
If you happened to look up into the sky on Sunday, January 20th, you probably spotted a ‘blood moon’, also known as a lunar eclipse. Millions of people around the world enjoyed the sight as the moon slowly turned dark, and then red over a period of several hours. However, [...]
The use of license plate readers is increasing in popularity with police and other law enforcement agencies to find stolen cars and catch up with people with expired licenses or active warrants. And when they’re not piggybacking on police cruisers, plate readers are often affixed to utility poles or freeway [...]
