Transforming the Way We See Things with Sound

Seeing is not all about light, as sounds often produce accurate images of what light alone can't show us. Many applications use sound as imaging technique, like radars, sonars, echographs and telecommunication devices. Processing acoustic signals has just become more efficient with a new imaging algorithm that ...

Early Moon Photos Revealed More Than Was Presented

The first images of the far side of the Moon were taken by the Russian Luna 3 and Zond 3 spacecraft in October 1959 and July 1965, respectively. These were the first to present the Moon's face that we never see, because of the fact that it has a rotation time around its axis equal to the revolution tine around E...
