Multispectral

Multispectral is a big word that means we are looking at lots of different colors all at once!

Think of it like this: imagine you have a big pack of crayons with all different colors - red, blue, green, yellow, and more. When we look at things with our eyes, we only see the colors that the object reflects back to us. But with multispectral technology, we can use special cameras or sensors that can see lots of different colors and shades at the same time.

Scientists and engineers use multispectral technology to study things like plants, crops, and the environment. They can use it to find areas that need more water, to detect pollution in the air or water, or to see if a plant is healthy or sick.

So, multispectral basically means looking at lots of different colors all at once, which can tell us important information about the world around us!
