NASA's PREFIRE mission tracks polar heat emissions to improve climate predictions and uncover the mysteries of far-infrared ...

NASA's newest climate mission has started collecting data on the amount of heat in the form of far-infrared radiation that the Arctic and Antarctic environments emit to space. These measurements ...

NASA's PREFIRE CubeSats are now providing essential data on how the Arctic and Antarctic emit heat into space, helping to forecast the effects of climate change. This data is vital for understanding ...

Solar flares are extremely intense events that occur in the sun's atmosphere, lasting anywhere from a few minutes to several ...

These opsins seem to enhance the mosquitoes’ sensitivity to lower levels of infrared radiation, allowing them to detect even subtle temperature differences. This newfound understanding of mosquito ...

The temperature of the Earth depends on many factors including the concentration of greenhouse gases such as water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide. The Earth also radiates lower frequency ...

Astronomers have published a gigantic infrared map of the Milky Way containing more than 1.5 billion objects -- the most detailed one ever made. Using the European Southern Observatory's VISTA ...

It isn’t possible for mosquitoes to detect thermal infrared radiation the same way they would detect visible light. The energy of IR is far too low to activate the rhodopsin proteins that detect ...

Abstract: We examine the relation between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission at 8 μm and far-infrared emission from hot dust grains at 24 μm and ... correlated with emission at 250 μm from ...
