Circling the globe once every 100 minutes, the satellite determines the density of the two gases through the use of optical sensors that will record over a million measurements each week.

Ottawa Boy's Invisible warns birds about deadly windows Bird-saving invention formulated by 8th grade boy. After finding that some 500 million birds perish each year from collisions with building windows throughout North America, student Charlie Sobcov of Ottawa, Canada wanted to do something to save them. With the understanding that light in the ultraviolet spectrum is visible to avian species, Charlie formulated a removable window decal employing a special ultraviolet paint that is transparent to humans but signals a solid object to be avoided to the bird. He is now working with a group of volunteers on testing the decal and is also considering marketing the invention. Great job, Charlie! Heaven surely smiles on such a kind heart and noble spirit as yours. Blessed be your innovation in preserving the lives of our precious avian co-inhabitants. |
