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.

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:36.544
