Kenya Space Agency should fund local R&D and build tracking stations that our startups can use. they should be more of the enablers

"I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is a real factor in scientific research."

Exploring the moon's surface with AI. 🌙

@FireflySpace, an #NVIDIAInception member, is preparing to launch its Blue Ghost Mission 2, including:

🔭 Lunar lander carrying science and technology instruments to detect faint signals from the cosmic dark ages
🛰️ Elytra spacecraft in lunar orbit for a five-year mission
📸 Ocula moon imaging service, powered onboard by the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform

This builds on Firefly's Blue Ghost Mission 1, launched in March 2025, that downlinked ~120GB of raw lunar surface imagery and video data to Earth.

"I found my tribe. The tribe of science."

Ardem Patapoutian was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and relocated to Los Angeles, USA, at the age of 18. He shares the immigrant experience with numerous Nobel Prize laureates and acknowledges that bringing together people from different backgrounds is advantageous to the field of science.

He was awarded the 2021 medicine prize jointly with David Julius for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.

From a First Glimpse of Saturn to Award-Winning Astrophotography: Guillermo's 12-Year Journey

For Guillermo Cervantes Mosqueda, astrophotography started with a moment he never forgot.

Growing up in Poncitlán, Jalisco, Mexico, Guillermo developed a fascination with astronomy through books his parents bought him as a child. But it wasn't until 2013, after purchasing a small 60mm refractor, that everything changed.

One night, while exploring the sky without really knowing what he was looking for, he came across Saturn for the first time.

"It blew my mind," he recalls. Seeing the ringed planet inspired him to share the beauty of the night sky with others, even though he had no experience in photography at the time.

Soon after, he bought his first DSLR camera and began learning astrophotography from scratch. What started as curiosity quickly became a lifelong passion.

Over the next 12 years, Guillermo continuously pushed himself to improve. His passion even led him to build observatories—first at his parents' home and now a new dome observatory in the countryside under darker skies.

Today, Guillermo operates multiple imaging setups and relies on equipment including ZWO cameras, EAF focusers, ASIAIR Plus controllers, and the AM5 mount. He credits his first cooled ZWO camera, the ASI1600MM, as a major turning point in his astrophotography journey.

His dedication has earned impressive recognition, including 11 AstroBin featured images, 12 AAPOD2 selections, multiple APOD GrAG awards, a Solar Activity Picture of the Day, and winning the 2023 Takahashi America Contest.

One of his most memorable experiences came in 2023 when he was invited to image beneath the Bortle 1 skies of Mexico's National Astronomical Observatory in Sierra de San Pedro Mártir. Spending three nights capturing deep-sky objects among professional observatories remains one of the highlights of his journey.

Despite the awards, Guillermo believes astrophotography is ultimately about patience. For him, the joy comes from the entire process—from planning and imaging to processing and sharing the final result with fellow astronomers.
