Information is dependent on what you already know
Moving information requires a transmission channel that has rules
Rules of the transmission channel requires encoding the message
somehow.

things to send a message

Astronomers were some of the
first scientists who recorded data
over time and made models that
predicted the motion of the
objects they saw
In order to ‘prove’ their theories
they had to use observations that
were made remotely.
There was no way to directly
observe the materials of the moon
or mars … YET!
ASTRONOMY AS A FIRST SCIENCE

As the nature of the physical world was researched and developed,
new findings would allow us to conduct different experiments with
the light gathered from night sky objects.
Examples:
Knowledge about optics and the reflection/refraction of light allowed for the first
telescopes
Knowledge about the nature of light as a continuous spectrum allowed us to view
objects and derive their temperature.
Knowledge of the quantum mechanical structure allowed astronomers to develop
and understanding of the composition of materials I both luminous and non-
luminous

Your eyes are the original remote
sensing detector!
We collect visible band EMR
Just like our eye, manufactured sensors
must all be build to detect changes in
the incoming radiation.
Most often we want to create maps or
images of the variations in order to look at
light and dark patterns which could tell us
something about the source.
REMOTE SENSING

Passive sensing detects
radiation from natural
sources.
Either directly from source or
reflected/refracted by objects
or other medium
Active sensing requires a
source with known
properties be generated
and the effects of
interactions with a target
are observed at the
detector.

Information can be quantified and the amount depends on what you
already know about the message
Information carried in radio waves as a transmission channel can be
modified in 4 ways: Amplitude, Frequency, Phase, and, Polarization.
In formation in radio waves from natural sources can help us
understand the properties of the source, the objects they interact
with, and the medium through which they are travelling.
The technique of collecting information form distant objects is called
remote sensing
May be active, we send a signal and measure the results of interactions with target
Passive, look and the signals contained in natural sources and infer properties of
the source, interacting objects, or the medium.
