Scientists are using satellites(人造卫星) to count Antarctic krill(南极磷虾) from space. These tiny creatures are just six centimetres long and look a bit like prawns(明虾),but they are more important. 1.
Scientists need to watch and count krill so they can check the health of the places where these animals live. However, in the Southern Ocean, where they live, there are more than 700 trillion adult Antarctic krill. That's like trying to count all the stars you see at night! 2.
3.
By comparing pictures taken by satellites, scientists will be able to guess how many krill live in different ocean areas. 5.

Even if we have special cameras and computers to help.3.
A
They study the colour of sea water from space. The amount of light the ocean absorbs changes depending on how many krill are in it. Dr Cait McCarry, from the University of Strathclyde, said, "We start with sea water. Then we add a krill and take a measurement(测量) of how much light the water takes in. 4. B
"By comparing pictures taken by satellites, scientists will be able to guess how many krill live in different ocean areas. 5.
