A network of ecological "satellites" set to monitor environmental change
could do for ecology what the Hubble Space Telescope has done for
astronomy, researchers say.
Since 1991 raw data from Hubble have been made publicly available for
use by professional researchers, educators, and citizen scientists via
an online catalog.
"The public can access [the data] and do their own research," said
Hubble spokesperson Ray Villard. "They paid for it. They deserve it."
