"Col. Alexa described the system to the press in 2007: "The human eye sees basically three bands of light. The ARCHER sensor sees 50. ... "

Oh, please! That's unencyclopedical gibberish. Regarding the human eye, she's obviously referring to "red", "green", and "blue" (which are by no way clearly seperable bands), but before all the "50 other bands" seem quite fantastic to me. -- 790 16:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I included it because it is a simple non-techbnical explanation, if not completely technically correct. I did characterize the comments as being given to the press, to put it in that context. I agree that outside of a direct quotation, it would be unencyclopedic. But this guy is in charge of the whole program, so he is a reliable source. I think the more technical information given below expands on this, but if you have better sources, incorporate them. Dhaluza 01:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
