Neuromorphic cameras, designed to mimic the human eye, are showing promise for astronomical applications. Unlike traditional cameras that capture entire frames at fixed intervals, these cameras only record data when a pixel's brightness changes. This event-based recording allows them to simultaneously capture both extremely bright and extremely dim objects in a single image, overcoming a significant limitation of conventional imaging. Furthermore, their high temporal resolution makes them ideal for tracking fast-moving celestial objects, potentially revolutionizing how astronomers observe dynamic events in the cosmos.
