“Filthy Satellite Pictures”

Scientists looking for hard-to-spot emperor penguins colonies in Antarctic regions have come up with a novel way to find and track them: using satellites in space to locate their droppings on sea ice. Skeptics say the research proves crap.

The satellites were not originally designed for this kind of use, but now that is their number two purpose.

The penguins, unaware that they were being observed by humans, still dressed formally.
