"Ghost Murmur" was described as a futuristic CIA tool
that could detect a heartbeat from vast distances.
Physicists say the public story clashes with the basic limits of magnetic sensing
Orzel struggles to see how a Ghost Murmur could work.
“There is really fascinating work being done using quantum magnetometry to measure heart rates,
and magnetic brain scans can now catch the tiny flickers of firing nerves.
“But none of that is something that …
This slide from the #coronagraphs symposium in Boulder from the talk by Sam van Kooten is quite enlightening: it shows two processing steps of a #PUNCH WFI composite, on the left still dominated by the F corona i.e. #ZodiacalLight i.e. interplanetary dust (just as seen in the Artemis II eclipse images) while on the right the - at such distance from the Sun muuuch fainter - K corona has been brought out which traces the Sun's magnetic field.
