Abstract
At a number of places in the preceding chapters we have already alluded to Huygens and his importance for remote sensing.
And perpendicular now, and now transverse. Pierce the dark soil and as they pierce and pass, Make bare the secrets of the Earth’s deep heart.
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, Prometheus Unbound, Act 4, Scene 1
