"NASA's Historic Cat Video Beamed from Deep Space Breaks Records"

NASA's Psyche spacecraft, currently traveling to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, has successfully transmitted the first video from deep space using laser communication technology. The 15-second ultra-high-definition video, featuring an orange tabby cat named Taters chasing a red laser light, was beamed to Earth from a distance of 19 million miles. The test demonstrated the potential for faster data transmission rates from deep space, with the laser system transmitting the video faster than most broadband internet connections on Earth. NASA aims to improve communication capabilities for future deep space missions, including manned missions to the moon and Mars.
