1. Remote Sensing Applications in Astronomy Didem Aysan 110010215

2. Remote Sensing collection of information about a surface without direct contact → lots of information → no contact

3. Astronomy science involving the observation and explanation of events occurring beyond the Earth and its atmosphere → exploring → geology applied to the universe??

4. Evolution of Astronomy Explore: - samples of planets and smaller solid bodies that fall to Earth as meteorites - telescope observations and selected properties measurements using accessible parts of the EM spectrum (Moon)

5. Evolution of Remote Sensing & Astronomy 1610 – Galileo (telescope) 1912 – Balloon flight (discovered cosmic rays) 169 space flights Some missions failed Latest mission: Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter
