NASA (thermal imaging applications)

NASA uses thermal imaging to detect heat differences in objects and environments. This technology captures infrared radiation emitted by surfaces, allowing scientists to monitor temperature variations in space, Earth's atmosphere, and planetary surfaces. Applications include studying planetary geology, observing climate change effects, tracking volcanic activity, and analyzing spacecraft equipment thermal performance. Thermal imaging helps identify heat patterns that are invisible to the naked eye, providing valuable insights for scientific research, safety assessments, and environmental monitoring. It’s a crucial tool for understanding temperature-related phenomena beyond what standard cameras can reveal.
