Remote sensing in the media has become ubiquitous, with satellite imagery appearing in everything from the news to sitcoms to blockbuster movies, and even commercials. Given the varying levels of quality and interpretability, there is much to think about and discuss!
I chose an image of recent Chinese military development on a key island in the south China sea. Although China has claimed they are not pushing conflict in the region, it is developing military infrastructure to protect what they claim as their territory and assets in the area. There is a large landing strip for aircraft. The strip is seen by the long straight area of gray color. The rectangular shape of the buildings indicate some industrial military function as well.
