  • I could see LoRa radio nodes making deep-forest IoT sensors possible. Have a solar station with starlink provide internet access, then use it as a LoRa (or other packet radio) modem for a couple-mile radius of sensors. Each sensor package could be a fairly cheap box with sensor, solar power and a radio. Would be super easy to deploy hundreds of those, all served by the same completely autonomous satellite station, and cheap to replace failing hardware (just see which nodes stop talking and send replacements when a bunch fail).


  • Yes, you can! All telescope data like this is available on the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), and there are a few online guides out there for processing the imagery. The colors seen in infrared images are chosen to represent relative wavelength, but a big part of it is choosing colors that show details and finer structures. A lot of what’s released to the public is designed with aesthetics in mind, often the raw data can be more valuable for scientific analysis. You can absolutely import images from both visible and NIR light to create a composite, in fact many of the IR images you see are already composites from various instruments.
