SWOT Satellite Reveals Key Insights on Ohio River Basin Lakes and Reservoirs
The SWOT satellite, a joint NASA-CNES mission, has provided new insights into the Ohio River Basin’s lakes, reservoirs, and water movement. Observations show water level changes between 1,600 feet and 330 feet, offering hydrologists critical insights into river discharge and freshwater availability. The SWOT satellite captures comprehensive water...

Sea Turtles Can Aid Scientists Map Under-Ocean Seagrass in an Attempt to Conserve Marine Ecology
A study in the Red Sea has shown that satellite-tagged green turtles can map seagrass meadows more accurately than conventional satellite imagery. By tracking 53 turtles, the researchers uncovered 34 new seagrass patches. This method not only overcomes the challenges of existing mapping technologies but also aids in conserving these vital ecosystem...

Researchers Propose New Methods to Spot Atom-Sized Primordial Black Holes Moving Across Solar System
Recent studies suggest that microscopic primordial black holes may exist within the solar system, potentially impacting planetary orbits and satellite movements. These small, early-universe black holes could also contribute to the mystery of dark matter, which makes up 85% of the universe's mass. Methods are being developed to detect their gravitat...

NASA Disasters Programme Uses Artificial Intelligence to Help Aid Response Efforts
NASA is leveraging artificial intelligence and open science to enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. During events like Hurricane Ida, NASA provided actionable data on soil moisture, flood detection, and power outages through its Disasters Mapping Portal. AI-driven tools, like blue tarp detection for damaged roofs, are aidi...

Study Finds Industrial Aerosols May Cause Local Snowfall by Freezing Clouds
A new study led by the University of Tartu has shown that industrial emissions, particularly aerosol particles, can influence local snowfall by triggering ice formation in supercooled clouds. Using satellite and ground-based radar observations, researchers found that factories, including cement plants and power stations, may cause localised snow pl...

Reliance Lobbies for Satellite Spectrum Auction in New Clash With Starlink
Reliance lobbied the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Friday to reconsider its plan to administratively allocate satellite spectrum, instead of auctioning it. Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said in October that the government would allocate spectrum in line with global trends. However, it will issue a final notification on how s...
