A KID array is held by a glove. The array shines in all colours of the rainbow.

Against a black background, a horizontal oval in bluish colours can be seen, representing our own Milky Way galaxy, plus the space around it. Insets show enlargements of a number of locations, where you can see two galaxies, mostly spiral-shaped, merging with each other.
On the left side of this image is a map consisting mainly of blue and purple pixels, but also some pixels that are light green, yellow and even red, indicating higher concentrations of methane. These concentrations were measured by the TROPOMI instrument. On the right-hand side of the image is a satellite photo of an oil industry complex, with finer pixels than on the left, showing a plume-shaped patch of methane concentrations measured by the GHGsat satellite. The similarity is striking, even though the dates differ. This is a methane leak.
In this photograph, the eye first sees a flat object with a pattern of concentric rings on it. If you look more closely, you can see that they are not real rings, but patterns.
Satellite photos surround a white and grey world map, showing concentrations of methane in coloured pixels, ranging from blue for lower concentrations to green and yellow for higher concentrations. Together, the pixels form a plume. The photos are linked to urban areas in Charlotte (US), Bucharest (Romania), Hyderabad (India), Guadalajara (Mexico), Hong Kong (China), Córdoba (Argentina), Bangkok (Thailand), Amman (Jordan), Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and Ahmedabad (India).
Against a twilight but still blue sky, a few stars are visible in the sky. In the foreground are a few satellite dishes. In the background, there is also a mountain. The ALMA telescope array is located on a plateau in the Atacama Mountains.
