1
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:05,280
Four Times the Depth of Color

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,500
Landsat’s collects light.

3
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:12,070
How intense that light is tells us about what's on the ground. 

4
00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:15,780
You can think of intensity like different shades of a color.

5
00:00:15,780 --> 00:00:23,560
Landsat 9, the newest satellite to join the Landsat fleet, sees 16,384 shades.

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,060
That’s four times the depth of color of the previous Landsat,

7
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:27,730


8
00:00:27,730 --> 00:00:30,980
meaning we’ll be able to see more detail in darker spots 

9
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:34,140
like coastal waters and dense forests.

10
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:36,544
