Big data has become a big challenge for space scientists analyzing vast datasets from increasingly powerful space instrumentation. To address this, a Southwest Research Institute team has developed a machine learning tool to efficiently label large, complex datasets to allow deep learning models to sift through and identify potentially hazardous solar events. The new labeling tool can be applied

NASA, in partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency), will release the James Webb Space Telescope’s first full-color images and spectroscopic data during a live broadcast beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday, July 12, from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Harder than diamond and more electrically conductive than copper while also a million times thinner than paper: graphene is the single greatest discovery of 21^st century materials science, and ESA has been working to benefit from its miraculous properties. A project to add ultra-thin graphene to traditional Lithium ion cells offers enhanced capacity and cycle life for future space batteries, which can now be manufactured in a cheaper, greener way – swapping toxic solvent for water and plant-based cellulose.
