Cool Views

1 Attachment(s)

I recently came across this site: http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000...111/index.html

To quote from the site: "A seamless zoom from space to the ground, using data from Terra/MODIS, Landsat/ETM+, and IKONOS, and ending at Spaceship Earth in Epcot outside of Orlando, Florida".

Bandwidth warning! some of these files are huge!

Look carefully at the parking lot at Epcot and you will see the FIRST championship arena from the 2002 competition.

For those of you who are bandwidth limited, I cropped a TIFF still and converted to jpeg.

enjoy...

Re: Cool Views

If all of these really were taken from space and from a satelite available to the public (or atleast to researchers), just think about the resolution the government has up there...

For those of you who would like to try this yourself, go to http://www.keyhole.com/

There is a 15 day demo, but it is kind of cool to pick your house out in full color satellite pictures. It is much better than Microsoft's TerraServer site.

Note: resolution varies depending on location and you must have an nVidia, ATI, Intel, Matrox, or S3 Graphics card.
