How to use pixel in a sentence?

1. Van Dokkum:

   Normally, you wouldn’t be able to detect the light of an individual star in that pixel, but because these pulsating stars are so bright and the pulsation is so strong, we could see that about a quarter of the pixels of the image changed their brightness. They changed it because the pixels contain these pulsating stars.

2. Van Dokkum:

   It leads to a different way of looking at galaxies, where we always seen them as completely static in the sky, unchanging on human time scales, in fact, they are shimmering. They are shimmering constantly. Every pixel in the image is getting brighter and fainter and they are not constant at all, which is sort of a different way of almost thinking about the light in the universe.

3. Ben Wood:

   Up until now, Pixel was more like a hobby than an actual business.

4. Arnau Garcia:

   Right now natural parks have two big problems, the first one of them is to detect rhinos and non-authorized people in the area. That has been done with helicopters and planes up until now, but that is very expensive. In addition, you cannot see people who hide under trees from a plane. We solve this with thermal cameras. We use a drone that carries that kind of camera and looks over that area or those places suspected of having this kind of problem and it detects hot points. Like we see here. This shows people. Every pixel has a different color depending on how hot it is. This is placed on the drone, that takes a picture and reports directly to the ranger.

5. David McQueen:

   Google never intended Google Pixel to be Google Pixel, the idea was that they would use the Pixel devices to showcase the Google Android ecosystem, demonstrating to their partners what could be done with top-end hardware and the latest Android software.
