Scientists Figure Out How To Count Whales … FROM SPACE!!!

by Jonathan Amos

A test count, reported in the journal Plos One, was conducted on southern right whales in the Golfo Nuevo on the coast of Argentina. The automated system found about 90% of creatures pinpointed in a manual search of the imagery.

This is a huge improvement on previous attempts at space-borne assessment, and could now revolutionise the way whale populations are estimated. Currently, such work is done through counts conducted from a shore position, from the deck of a ship or from a plane. But these are necessarily narrow in scope.

An automated satellite search could cover a much larger area of ocean and at a fraction of the cost…

How To: Plant Seeds Using Eggshells // 17 Apart

I think this is such a cute idea. Once they finally sprout you can transfer them into your pot or the ground and the eggshells will breakdown around it.
