A team of scientists has detected the lowest frequency radar echo off the moon ever picked up by Earth-based receivers. In the lunar echo experiment, high power transmitter, located near Gakona, Alaska, launched high power radio waves toward the moon. The reflected signal, weakened because of the long distance to the moon and back, was detected by receiving antennas in New Mexico. picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

The Sahara Desert is remarkable in many ways. It is a place, which changes constantly. The Desert was once green and now you will have to walk miles to reach an oasis. The desert is shrinking and then it grows again. With help of sophisticated radar instruments, it is possible to penetrate sand cover and examine some of the secrets buried under the sand of... picked by octoberrain 1 year ago

The radar system on the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter has uncovered new details about some of the most mysterious deposits on Mars: the Medusae Fossae Formation. It has provided the first direct measurement of the depth and electrical properties of these materials, providing new clues about their origin. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

GPS-based tracking devices don't just help you figure out where you are and where you're going, they might also help you avoid a speeding ticket. Shaun Malone of California is contesting a speeding ticket in that state by arguing that his GPS-based tracking system shows that the officer's radar gun was wrong. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

After having visited the radar station in Gabala, Azerbaijan, Lt. General Henry A. Obering, the Director of the US Missile Defense Agency, came to a conclusion that the radar station, which was built in Soviet times, would not be able to completely substitute the radar system, planned in the Czech Republic and Poland. picked by maxriter 10 months ago

Much of the technology already exists for vehicles to take the wheel: radar-based cruise control, motion sensors, lane-change warning devices, electronic stability control and satellite-based digital mapping. And automated vehicles could dramatically improve life on the road, reducing crashes and congestion. picked by muppet 6 months ago

Here are the ten ways that might help you beat a speeding ticket, but the best way is to have Radar Love playing when the cop pulls you over. He'll have to let you go as it is impossible to drive the speed limit while listening to this song. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

Newly assembled radar images from Cassini provide the best views of the hydrocarbon lakes and seas on Saturn's moon Titan. A new radar image reveals that Titan’s south polar region also has lakes. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

An engineering student at UNC Charlotte was caught with a device made to block police photo radar. He used a switchable electric window glazing that turned his car license plates to gray at a touch of a button. picked by Techted 1 year ago

Doppler radar, advanced weather satellites and sophisticated weather models, combined with a lot of accidental, human-caused weather modification, make it finally possible to do the one thing that was virtually impossible in the past -- assess whether humans are having any effect on clouds. picked by deEPCHill 3 months ago

This animation, comprised of images acquired by Envisat’s Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) instrument, shows the breaking away of a giant iceberg from the Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica. Spanning 34 km in length by 20 km in width, the new iceberg covers an area nearly half the size of Greater London. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

Saturn's moon Titan may have a deep, hidden ocean, according to data published in the journal Science. Radar images from the Cassini-Huygens mission reinforce predictions that a reservoir of liquid water exists beneath the thick crust of ice. If confirmed, it would mean that Titan has two of the key components for life - water and organic molecules. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago

The first evidence of a volcanic eruption from beneath Antarctica’s most rapidly changing ice sheet is reported this week in the journal Nature Geosciences. The volcano on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet erupted 2000 years ago (325BC) and remains active. Using airborne ice-sounding radar, scientists discovered a layer of ash produced by a ‘subglacial’ volcano. It extends across an a... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago
