Here are definitions from the Cartographic materials: a manual of interpretation of AACR2 ... "Remote sensing image" The pictorial product of any remote sensor or remote-sensing device. See also Aerial photograph, Image, Orthophotograph, Orthophotomosaic, Photomosaic, Sidelooking airborne radar (SLAR) image, Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image. (Avery and Berlin mod.) "Remote sensor" Any instrument that detects and measures reflected and/or emitted electromagnetic radiation from a distance and reflected underwater sound waves in the case of sonar. Instruments used for collecting remote-sensing data fall into two broad categories—nonimaging, such as spectroradiometers, and imaging, from which two-dimensional pictorial representations of the features under investigation can be made.

I'm working on a number of posters that depict photographs of galaxies, stars, etc., and I'm struggling with an issue. What is the difference between "remote-sensing images" and "photographs from space"? Most of these are photographs taken from the Hubble Telescope, if that matters. I appreciate your assistance!
