This NASA technology meant for space now powers everyday life

Previously, the Hubble Space Telescope was one of the major space telescopes used for astronomical observations. However, it had limitations in deep space missions, leading to the invention of the CMOS active pixel sensors. This new technology is now used not only in space missions but also in our everyday gadgets.

Webb gets the first view of Uranus’ upper atmosphere

For the first time in history, scientists have created a 3D map of Uranus’ upper atmosphere. This map revealed how charged particles and temperatures vary with altitude, how Uranus’ strange magnetic field shapes auroras, and how the planet has cooled over decades. This gives us a glimpse into the evolution of exoplanets.
