Committee on Earth Observation Satellites
Hey there little buddy! Have you ever looked at a map before and wondered how people are able to take pictures of the Earth from way up high? Well, there's actually a group called the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) who help coordinate all the different countries and organizations that have satellites orbiting our planet to take pictures and gather information about things like the weather, oceans, and even how plants grow on Earth.
The CEOS helps these different groups work together by making sure they are all using the same language and technology so that they can share information and work more effectively. This is important because no one country or group can do this alone - it takes a big team effort!
Some cool stuff that the CEOS helps coordinate is using satellites to take pictures of hurricanes to help people prepare for them, monitoring climate change, and tracking the movements of animals like whales and birds. So, next time you see a really cool picture of Earth from a satellite, you can thank the CEOS for helping make it happen!
