EARTHILINGS' ACTIVITIES

This panorama photo of Obama's inauguration may not look like much but it is a remarkable example of Google Earth's photographic technology!


I am not sure if you need to have Google Earth downloaded into your computer to make this work but try this: double click on the link


You should see this photo at full screen. The control for the picture is in the upper left. Press the + sign to zoom in, or the arrows to move right, left, up or down. If the picture looks fuzzy give it a second to clarify.

You will see that you can focus in on faces - nearly half a mile away! For fun, focus on Obama (centre stage) and then look behind him. You can clearly see all the dramatis personae!

The technology is truly amazing- and it's un-classified! Imagine what our spy agencies can see with classified technology!!!
