"We don’t know much about the long life of a sea turtle, since it’s
mostly spent in the ocean. When they do come ashore to lay their eggs,
we know the babies use the moon and stars to guide them back to sea.

their attention?
A citizen science group at Gulf Islands National Seashore in Pensacola,
Florida helps map the night sky in order to keep these mysterious
creatures on the right path."
