NASA Sends Cat Video from Deep Space via Laser

NASA has successfully transmitted an ultra high-definition video of a cat, Taters, from deep space to Earth using laser technology. The 15-second clip traveled 19 million miles, demonstrating the potential for improved communications with remote parts of the solar system. The video was received by the Hale telescope at the Palomar observatory and streamed in real-time at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This achievement is part of NASA's Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) mission, which aims to explore technologies for delivering higher bandwidth content from deep space to Earth.
