HAS anyone ever looked up and noticed a star... that’s moving? Chances are, they were looking at a satellite. There are almost 8,000 satellites orbiting earth. These amazing pieces of technology do everything from monitoring the earth’s weather and climate, to beaming television to homes.

They can also provide internet—and that’s especially useful for Filipinos that live in smaller towns, islands, or the beautiful mountains.
