The satellite images have pixel ground resolutions of under 0.5 meters, and overlapping images from different angles can be used to extract elevation data for DEMs. Based only on satellite position, there may be errors of several meters, but through ground control registration these can be reduced to point-to-point errors of 20 centimeters or ...
Google Earth is a web and computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery.The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.
But on Oct. 10, the U.S. Geological Survey's Landsat 8 satellite, which NASA helped to develop, managed to capture an image of the phenomenon, which is actually fog caused by rising steam.

Scientists from the University College London and the British Antarctic Survey discover that a snow covered volcano on Mount Michael on Saunders Island in the South Sandwich Islands contains a lake of lava within its crater.
The AMRC updated its composite satellite imagery in 2014 which are derived from tests of atmospheric motion vectors. Currently, geostationary and polar-orbiting satellite observations can be used to generate wind vectors based on cloud motions or water vapor target movements over a series of three satellite images.
The striking images, made from sonar readings, can help boats avoid dangerous obstacles in the poorly understood Southern Ocean. Hi-res images show the ocean floor around Antarctica in ...
