Scientists are using satellites to spot stranded whales from SPACE

Satellites could help locate stranded whales more efficiently and in real-time. Scientists have begun harnessing the power of the technology's high-resolution imagery to detect and monitor whales stranded on the shore from space. The team noted that the use of satellites will help find stranded whales in remote locations, as well as spot potentially deteriorating ocean conditions.
