NASA's Compact Infrared Cameras Revolutionize High-Res Earth and Space Imaging

NASA has introduced a new high-resolution infrared camera, the Compact Thermal Imager, which can enhance forest fire warnings and analyze exoplanet compositions. The camera's lightweight filters and advanced sensor technology allow for greater accuracy and efficiency, benefiting both Earth-based and space missions. The imager has already proven its capabilities on the International Space Station, capturing critical data on wildfires and atmospheric structures.
