By plotting nonlinear trajectories through a GAN’s latent space, the method enables certain image attributes to vary while others are held fixed.

China is the first country to operate a space station on its own.

China is one step closer to completing its space station after it launched the third and final module to orbit aboard a Long March 5B rocket, a Bloomberg report.

The rocket took off from Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on Hainan Island at 3:37 p.m. local time Monday, October 31. The payload it lifted to orbit is the Mengtian laboratory module, which will complete China’s orbital station. rocket took off from Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on Hainan Island at 3:37 p.m. local time Monday, October 31.

Our solar system is just a small slice of the universe. From the depth that James Webb’s first images have provided, to the journeys that Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have taken into interstellar space, our universe is much bigger beyond our solar system’s edge.

Why the Pillars of Creation has fascinated the public since 1995.

The Pillars of Creation was an image special enough to be featured on a U.S. postage stamp to commemorate the Hubble Space Telescope and its namesake, astrophysicist Rogier Windhorst tells Inverse.

Here is a guide to the stunning Pillars of Creation and why one space telescope veteran stands by the scene’s remarkability.

The project, known as DAF-MIT AI Accelerator, selected a pilot out of over 1,400 applicants.

The United States Air Force (DAF) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) commissioned their lead AI pilot — a training program that uses artificial intelligence — in October 2022. The project utilizes the expertise at MIT and the Department of Air Force to research the potential of applying AI algorithms to advance the DAF and security.

The military department and the university created an artificial intelligence project called the Department of the Air Force-Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Accelerator (DAF-MIT AI Accelerator).

The mission to explore a metallic asteroid could launch in October 2023.

The agency announced on October 28 that after months of scrutiny, an independent review board has decided it’s possible to move forward with the Psyche mission — humanity’s first venture to a metallic asteroid, 16 Psyche.

What’s New – The Psyche mission is now on track to launch in October 2023, which means it could reach its namesake destination in August 2029 after a gravity-assist swing past Mars in 2026. In the meantime, the mission team is testing the spacecraft’s flight software, something that became a sticking point back in June when NASA realized that Psyche stood no chance of being ready in time for its original mid-October 2022 launch date.

The resulting five-minute audio includes eerie creaks and crackling sounds, as well as deep breathing-like sounds that listeners on social media described as “petrifying” and “spine tingling freaky.”

Since the discovery was revealed on October 24, loudspeakers at Solbjerg Square in Copenhagen, Denmark, have broadcasted the recording three times a day. Plans are to continue playing it each day at 8 a.m., 1 p.m., and 7 p.m. through October 30.
