New optics blog post! So, what is “structured light?”https://skullsinthestars.com/2023/05/27/so-what-is-structured-light/

Recent observations suggest our solar system has a second Kuiper Belt -- a group of objects orbiting in the cold, dim reaches far beyond Pluto.
NASA's New Horizons probe will pass through it over the next decade!

Not everything we see online is true.
Before hitting the share button, practice a thorough check. These crucial questions will guide you:
✔️ WHO is behind it?
✔️ WHAT is the source?
✔️ WHERE did it come from?
✔️ WHY are you sharing it?
✔️ WHEN was it published?
Together, we will triumph over #misinformation, one click at a time.

“Tough runs don’t last, tough runners do”

We only have a few #images of the rings
around Uranus, but now the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope has captured a startling view

Researchers Make It Principled?
Can researchers create AI algorithms that are ethical today—and will be safe in the future?

Happy Easter! 🐰🐣🌷
While we might paint easter eggs in all kinds of colours, let’s keep our lifestyle green! 💚

They may be microscopic, but their ability to sequester carbon is phenomenal. We are talking phytoplankton – and scientists working on a project funded by ESA are assessing different aspects of the role that these tiny plants play in the ocean carbon…

Amazing Uranus with its rings photographed by the infrared camera of the #JamesWebb telescope. The polar cap and clouds are clearly visible in the photo. But it is, of course, the rings captured with such accuracy that are the highlight of this photo. #BeautyofSciencd Photo: NASA/JamesWeb

an effort to save the #VERITASmission
to #Venus, which is facing an indefinite delay due to constrained budgets at NASA.
Runoff and river discharge are important components in Earth’s water cycle, but as climate change tightens its grip, heatwaves and instances of drought are increasingly hitting the headlines. One would assume that this hotter weather leads to reduced water runoff, but an innovative way of using information from satellites suggests that this isn’t always the case. #ESA #ObservingTheEarth
