So live/daily is for zoom levels 0-9, and the archive goes back 20 years to 2000. Zoom in, and older imagery dates will vary based on the location.

Yes, images of your house/area will be older. Near real-time imagery is only available at lower zoom levels. It takes a long time to take satellite/aerial photos of everywhere on the planet in high resolution, so 2018 is quite goo

Not quite, but you can see the contrails. Example: https://zoom.earth/#view=40.174,-136.065,7z/date=2020-07-20,... Change the date to see them being created.

Yes, near real-time is available up to 500m/pixel (level 8 zoom). To see higher resolution you can use planet.com but that’s a commercial service.

Yep, it will be old at that zoom level. Zoom out to level 8 and you’ll get near real-time but you won’t be able to see your house.

It does - imagery is dated to the nearest month from level ~12 and higher. (See top left on desktop, bottom on mobile)

You’re exactly right. Sentinel Hub process a huge amount of data in real time, so it’s no small feat.

Yes, the night side uses a combination of infra-red imagery with a static image of the Earth at night. Without that image all the landmass and cities would disappear into black, so it helps give the IR imagery context. And it looks nice. It

High resolution will be older imagery. You won’t be able to see your house in near real time unless you pay to task a satellite from a commercial provider like Planet Labs.

I’d love to, but their API is currently cost prohibitive for a free-to-use website.

Also, it's good for monitoring wildfires. For example, here are fires currently raging in the Arctic: https://zoom.earth/#view=67.86,151.46,6z/date=2020-07-20,am/...

I'm the developer of Zoom Earth. "Live" is shorthand for "near real-time". But, you're right. Most visitors simply want to see their house from space. Which is understandable, but also kinda depressing. They co

Some details: It combines near real-time images from multiple geostationary satellites, updated every 10 minutes (with a delay of ~30 minutes). NASA GOES satellite for the Americas, Japan's Himawari-8 for Asia and Meteosat in Europe&#x

There's no reason why native apps and the mobile web can't peacefully coexist and thrive. There isn't going to be a "winner." It's not a zero-sum game. The future will be more of what we have today: more apps,

Jelly is all about the photos. It exists because people are far better at recognizing objects in images than computers are... for now, at least.

Unlike this version http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4028419 it doesn't require WebSockets or Jetty. Just good ol' JavaScript/HTML5. Nothing more.

John seemed really pissed off during the last 2 mins on episode 90. Seems like that t-shirt announcement was the final straw. It's a shame. Dan gives John structure. On the new Talk Show John's rambling all over the place. Sad.

Thanks. Yep that's correct, I'm an independent developer. All the effects are created live in the app itself, there's no server-side image processing done. It's true that the app simply uploads images straight to Facebook without touching m
