The population of natural Earth satellites - 3 views

  •  
    Earth's irregular natural satellites (NES) that are temporarily captured from the near-Earth-object (NEO) population. --> Possibly interesting for NEO exploration? http://arxiv.org/abs/1112.3781
  •  
    How early could we detect these coming?

Norwegian Skydiver Almost Gets Hit by Falling Meteor - and Captures it on Film - 1 views

  •  
    apparently first time that somebody filmed a meteorite falling after the luminous phase .... impressive pics
  •  
    I've seen someone suggest it could have been a rock that ended up inside the parachute bag when it was folded, and then fell when the parachute was deployed.

Research Blog: Inceptionism: Going Deeper into Neural Networks - 0 views

  •  
    Deep neural networks "dreaming" psychedelic images
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    Although that's not technically correct. The networks don't actually generate the images, rather the features that get triggered in the network already get amplified through some heuristic. Still fun tho`

    Now in real time: http://www.twitch.tv/317070
  •  
    Yes, true for the later images, but for the first images they start with random noise and a 'natural image' prior, no? But I guess calling it "hallucinating" might have been more accurate ;)
  •  
    Funny how representation errors in NNs suddenly become art. God.... neo-post-modernism.

  • WISE is discovering near-Earth asteroids that are on average larger than what's found by existing telescopes, which should help scientists better calculate their potential threat

NASA's next destination: a near-Earth asteroid? | National | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle - 0 views

  • At a workshop last month in Washington, D.C., NASA canvassed the scientific, human spaceflight and planetary defense communities about their priorities for a mission to a near-Earth asteroid.
  • an asteroid mission is possible as early as 2019 using a pair of enhanced Orion spacecraft with a two-person crew.
  • November 2019 and spend three months flying more than 7 million miles to an asteroid that's about 33 feet across.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • he crew would "park" their vehicle nearby and spacewalk over
  • After about five days the crew would climb back into one of the capsules and spend three months flying home.

NASA will miss Congressional deadline for asteroid tracking - Science Fair - USATODAY.com - 0 views

  • he panel finds the 2005 order to find 90% of Earth-threatening asteroids 460 feet or larger infeasible,
  • No method for diverting asteroids has been experimentally demonstrated
  • Options include a "gravity tractor" orbiting slow-moving objects and tugging them off course with tidal tugs, a "kinetic" impact of a heavy spacecraft into an asteroid, or a nuclear explosion
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Unlike the dinosaurs, we are smart enough to do the math and figure out the answer that modest resources should be dedicated to the problem

      "we are smart enough" is a completely subjective comment. Reading the article it does not give the same impression :|
