Here’s how astronomers plan to send a giant-ass telescope to space

Here’s how astronomers plan to send a giant-ass telescope to space The James Webb Space Telescope is set for launch December 18 Young galaxies and alien atmospheres The Webb telescope has a mirror over 20 feet across, a tennis-court sized sun shade to block solar radiation andfour separate camera and sensor systems to collect the data. It works kind of like a satellite dish. Light from a star or galaxy will enter the mouth of the telescope and bounce off the primary mirror toward the four sensors:NIRCam, which takes images in the near infrared; theNear Infrared Spectrograph, which can split the light from a selection of sources into their constituent colors and measures the strength of each; theMid-Infrared Instrument, which takes images and measures wavelengths in the middle infrared; and theNear Infrared Imaging Slitless Spectrograph, which splits and measures the light of anything scientists point the satellite at....

Here’s how deep learning helps computers detect objects

Here’s how deep learning helps computers detect objects From autonomous driving to healthcare, object detection is used for many things Convolutional neural networks One of the key components of most deep learning–based computer vision applications is theconvolutional neural network(CNN). Invented in the 1980s by deep learning pioneerYann LeCun, CNNs are a type of neural network that is efficient at capturing patterns in multidimensional spaces. This makes CNNs especially good for images, though they are used to process other types of data too....
