"visible from space", still waiting from the picture from Space. I can smell the bullshit or the google map picture highly zoomed... but if they can zoom on you

"visible from space", still waiting from the picture from Space. I can smell the bullshit or the google map picture highly zoomed... but if they can zoom on your house they can zoom on those too, no need add this in the title.

Can’t find the direct coordinates for google earth, but you can see a couple images in the linked paper: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(18)31287-9 https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(18)... Since they cover an “area the size of Great Britain” they would be extremely easy to seem from space if there wasn’t vegetation in the way.

  If you click on the post office of the closest town and look at the images, the town looks nice and clean, but there is literally not a human soul to be found. What's going on there? https://www.google.be/maps/place/Ubiraita/@-12.589317,-41.0099978,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOgVbGgspsBG2DHY7gURDvXLJRzkodcDJyTSnRe!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOgVbGgspsBG2DHY7gURDvXLJRzkodcDJyTSnRe%3Dw152-h86-k-no!7i2560!8i1440!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x0:0x0!2zMTLCsDM2JzE3LjEiUyA0MMKwNTknNTAuNiJX!3b1!8m2!3d-12.60475!4d-40.99739!3m4!1s0x76a0bb2bbbe0df5:0xa08afc30a5ca7190!8m2!3d-12.5893161!4d-41.0099968 https://www.google.be/maps/place/Ubiraita/@-12.589317,-41.00...

There are loads of insect structures visible from space. These guys, for example, are ALL OVER parts of Africa: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nairobi,+Kenya/@-1.0892132,37.1402234,1014m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x182f1172d84d49a7:0xf7cf0254b297924c!8m2!3d-1.2920659!4d36.8219462 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nairobi,+Kenya/@-1.0892132...

  I mean, anything is visible from space with the sufficient resolution and zoom. I don't understand how it is supposed to be impressive.

  The phrase "visible from space" has been a gimmick for the last 30 years or so. The ant hill and flowers outside your front door are visible from space nowadays.
