Albertus Magnus was a German Bishop and Philospher working in the 13th century. He was one of the greatest thinkers of his time and sought to explain many aspects of the natural world in a rational manner. Albertus studied the reflection of light through the use of mirrors and the refraction

with wavelengths just longer than red visible light but shorter than microwaves and radio waves (700-1500 nanometres). Infrared light is used for thermal imaging, but also to change the channel on your TV! Satellites (more on this in session 3) – Anything that orbits the earth! Specifically, earth imaging
