inside plants . thrive through photosynthesis Plants grow, a process that converts sunlight into energy. During photosynthesis, plants emit what is called fluorescence -- light invisible to the naked eye but detectable by satellites orbiting hundreds of miles above Earth. established a method by NASA scientists have now to turn this satellite data into global maps of the subtle phenomenon in more detail than ever before.
