"World's Thermometer Satellite Reveals Earth's Hotspots in Stunning Space Images"
The British-made satellite, HotSat-1, has sent back its first images from space, capturing heat emissions from buildings, airports, oil refineries, and more. The infrared mapping technology aims to identify energy wastage and ensure structures are energy efficient. The images reveal high heat emissions in locations such as Las Vegas, Albuquerque, and Canada's Northwest Territories, which have experienced devastating wildfires. The data collected can help hold companies accountable for their emissions and contribute to climate action. SatVu, the London-based company operating HotSat-1, plans to launch additional satellites to provide more data and quicker access to images.
