Description

In this only home, Cooley's satellite eye, located in the faraway reaches of outer space, rediscovers our world from a new ­perspective with the kind of awe and wonder traditionally reserved for the world's first explorers. Faces once unfamiliar become those of family and friends as this only home distills all people, all places and all time into one small space: the earth, our planet.
