| Publisher Description: Thousands of satellites circle Earth. Some look down, taking pictures and gathering all sorts of information about our planet. Others look out into space, toward the planets, the Sun, and the unknown worlds beyond our galaxy. In addition to recording what is seen, satellites relay information that make it possible to use phones, watch TV, predict the weather, and much more. |
Contributor Bio(s): Johnson, Rebecca L.: - Rebecca L. Johnson has written dozens of national award-winning books that highlight why science is such an exciting endeavor: there are no shortages of new species, remarkable adaptations, and fresh insights into life on earth. She believes that scientists have the world's best jobs, and has been fortunate to work with many of them in far-flung corners of the planet, including Antarctica's frozen interior and the ocean's abyss. |
