I work with Terra's ground based flight crew. I don't know much about ASTER specifically, but most of the instruments on Terra have a very wide field of cover and gather light in bands beyond of our spectrum of vision. The data primarily of interest to climatologists and scientists. You won't be able to pick out cars parked on our street in these images. Historical and current data from some of Terra's other instruments is available on Worldview here: https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/ https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/
