This is a place to post and discuss aerial photos. Call it a class in aerial phto interpretation if you like. We can also point to resouces in aerial photo interpretation. This of course includes 3D aerial photos, one of my favorite mediums.

space.com is a great source of the latest NASA releases. I'll post them here from now on. I wish there were areial photos of the island of Hawaii.
http://goes.higp.hawaii.edu/goes/index.shtml explains what you see plus Alaska and Eastern North America.
http://goes.higp.hawaii.edu/goes/goes.shtml for the thumbnails of everything from Kilauea volcano to New Zealand's North Island. The photos are large so in interest of quick loading, I'll refrain from posting them.
3-D photo are next. They must be highly KB intensive.

There are, my dear! Just go to http://www.mapquest.com and put in an address and then select aerial photo. It's like magic. And you can copy and paste them at will. That's how I got that aerial photo I posted a while back of the area around the Southern tip of Hawaii, near Honolulu, the one of Diamond Head Park.

I know..... but not for our island. not for Hilo or my house! We did find yours but not mine. I guess we are too inconsequential to waste satellite time to record. I'll keep looking. (Yes, I about mapquest. I even have a login there!)

Is your place in these? Who's the pilot?
What's the building with the Quonset Hut style roof? And what are the buildings around it? in nov07022s.jpg

Ah yes, that rounded - roof building is the Hilo armory. In the decidely old part of town. I'll look for a picture which is more in the direction of my home. The armory is on the opposite side of Hilo from me and from Kilauea volcano.

Olympics from Space
Tickets may already be gone, but thanks to NASA there's still
one way you can drop in on the opening and closing ceremonies
for the Salt Lake City Olympics. By carefully fusing image data
from NASA's Terra and Landsat spacecraft, as well as the
commercial Ikonos satellite belonging to Space Imaging, the
space agency brings you this remarkable view of the Rice-Eccles
Olympic Stadium as captured from space.
The scene is also something of a celebration for the space
agency; 2002 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the highly
successful Landsat program. Located on the University of Utah
campus, Rice-Eccles is the place for one of the world's biggest
celebrations this year. Nearly 45,000 people will pack the stands
there, while several billion people around the world will catch all or
part of the festivities on television.
more plus the ability to zoom in from space on the venues...

You can either loop it or advance it frame by frame. It is totally amazing! No wonder they can read license plates!

There us a slight distance problem. The moon is about 384,000 Km (238,613 miles) away. These satellites are nothing like that far. You don't wear glasses yet, do you? You'll better understand focal length when you do! I suspect this will be possible in the future. I am not sure what the technology is missing, but the expense will be very high. Priorities is what it is all about.

*HUGS* I had to look it up (I had forgotten the exact distance.) The moon looks so close - especially when you look at the Hubble or the Space Station slipping across the sky so close to us but seemingly equally close to the moon. It took us 5 days to travel there. That is truly amazing!

NASA SATELLITE SEES SWATH OF TORNADO DESTRUCTION
------------------------------------------------
A powerful tornado touched down in southern Maryland and ripped through the town of La Plata, destroying most of the historic downtown recently. The twister was the strongest ever recorded to hit the state and perhaps the strongest ever recorded in the eastern U.S. The tornado's path can be seen clearly in this image acquired by NASA's EO-1 satellite.

NEW ENVIRONMENTAL EYE ON EARTH LAUNCHED INTO SPACE
