Read the following selection from the section “Weather Satellites And Radar.”
In the 1960s, NASA launched TIROS I, the nation's first weather satellite. Today, weather satellites continuously circle our planet hundreds of miles above its surface. They are one of the most effective tools for studying Earth. From high above the Earth, satellites are able to "see" atmospheric events around the globe. Not only do satellites collect data and relay it from space back to Earth's surface, but they also capture images of what they see.
Which central idea of the article is MOST supported by this selection?
A
Technology helps people understand the atmosphere from the perspective that humans alone cannot reach.
B
Satellites are the most efficient and accurate technology for observing how the atmosphere works.
C
The launch of TIROS I in the '60s was important because it changed how humans were able to predict the weather.
D
Since the launch of TIROS I, satellites are constantly circling Earth's orbit, taking pictures of the weather.
