'Blood moon' set to rise over Hong Kong but clouds, rain may get in the way

This story has been made freely available as a public service to our readers. Please consider supporting SCMP’s journalism by subscribing. Hong Kong is set to witness a rare total lunar eclipse on Tuesday night, but the weather forecaster warns that thick clouds and possible rain may block the view. The Hong Kong Observatory also said temperatures were expected to drop gradually from 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit) at noon on Tuesday to around 16 degrees in the evening. The astronomical event

Why Not? Solver-Grounded Certificates for Explainable Mission Planning

arXiv:2603.00469v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Operators of Earth observation satellites need justifications for scheduling decisions: why a request was selected, rejected, or what changes would make it schedulable. Existing approaches construct post-hoc reasoning layers independent of the optimizer, risking non-causal attributions, incomplete constraint conjunctions, and solver-path dependence. We take a faithfulness-first approach: every explanation is a certificate derived from the optimiza

GRAD-Former: Gated Robust Attention-based Differential Transformer for Change Detection

arXiv:2603.01161v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Change detection (CD) in remote sensing aims to identify semantic differences between satellite images captured at different times. While deep learning has significantly advanced this field, existing approaches based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers and Selective State Space Models (SSMs) still struggle to precisely delineate change regions. In particular, traditional transformer-based methods suffer from quadratic computati

CityLens: Evaluating Large Vision-Language Models for Urban Socioeconomic Sensing

arXiv:2506.00530v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding urban socioeconomic conditions through visual data is a challenging yet essential task for sustainable urban development and policy planning. In this work, we introduce \textit{CityLens}, a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate the capabilities of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) in predicting socioeconomic indicators from satellite and street view imagery. We construct a multi-modal dataset covering a total of 17 glob

Near--Real-Time Conflict-Related Fire Detection in Sudan Using Unsupervised Deep Learning

arXiv:2512.07925v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Ongoing armed conflict in Sudan highlights the need for rapid monitoring of conflict-related fire-affected areas. Recent advances in deep learning and high-frequency satellite imagery enable near--real-time assessment of active fires and burn scars in war zones. This study presents a near--real-time monitoring approach using a lightweight Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE)--based model integrated with 4-band Planet Labs imagery at 3 m spatia

While initial validation focused on employee attrition prediction, this study introduces a heterogeneous intelligent urban resource allocation system to demonstrate the generality and domain-independence of the ESS framework. The second case study integrates tabular, temporal, and geospatial data under multi-stakeholder

Multi-Condition Digital Twin Calibration for Axial Piston Pumps : Compound Fault Simulation

arXiv:2603.00199v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Axial piston pumps are indispensable power sources in high-stakes fluid power systems, including aerospace, marine, and heavy machinery applications. Their operational reliability is frequently compromised by compound faults that simultaneously affect multiple friction pairs. Conventional data-driven diagnosis methods suffer from severe data scarcity for compound faults and poor generalization across varying operating conditions. This paper prop

AIRMap: AI-Generated Radio Maps for Wireless Digital Twins

arXiv:2511.05522v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Accurate, low-latency channel modeling is essential for real-time wireless network simulation and digital-twin applications. Traditional modeling methods like ray tracing are however computationally demanding and unsuited to model dynamic conditions. In this paper, we propose AIRMap, a deep-learning framework for ultra-fast radio-map estimation, along with an automated pipeline for creating the largest radio-map dataset to date. AIRMap u

New satellite photos show apparent attack on Iran nuclear site: report

Commercial satellite imagery has captured what appears to be the first known strikes on an Iranian nuclear site since the start of the US-Israeli air operation, an independent policy institute said on Monday. The Institute for Science and International Security said imagery produced by Colorado-based Vantor showed two strikes on access points to the underground uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, which was hit by the US last June. David Albright, a former UN ‌nuclear inspector and founder of the

Europe's answer to Starship

In the summer of 2023, something happened that engineers had talked about for decades but few genuinely expected to see in their lifetimes. SpaceX's Starship, a stainless steel tower taller than a 30-story building, lit its 33 engines simultaneously and lifted off from the Texas coast. It did not go entirely to plan. But it went. And when the Super Heavy booster returned in flight test five to be caught, midair, by the enormous mechanical arms of its own launch tower, it was clear that the
