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.

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.
