Ever wonder what your home, neighborhood, etc., looks like from a satellite in space? Click on this link and you can see it right down to the trees in your yard. http://terraserver.microsoft.com/It took me a few minutes to get to my house because although the software put me in the general area everything looked so different. It's a lot better if you do this with a high speed connection.

AFAIK, those are commercial aerial surveliance photos, not satelite images. "They" could get much better resolution if they wanted too
