Plain English (default view) — short, conversational, lightly seasoned with science
🔬 Scientific / formula (revealed on click) — markdown + $$…$$ ok
**✅ Advantages** - ⚙️ No moving mirror → more reliable, longer mission life - ⏱️ Longer dwell time per pixel → better signal-to-noise - 📦 CCDs are smaller, lighter, lower power than scanning optics - 🎯 More accurate radiometry per detector **❌ Disadvantage** - 🎚️ Calibrating thousands of detectors uniformly is hard — each CCD has slightly different gain/offset
