I never forget seeing my own house as viewed by a satellite in orbit. It was impressive.

Then it zoomed in further and closer until we could see the roof of my house. you can even see the neighbours trampoline in the backyard, woods, landmarks, nature reserves and more. It was a stunning view.

The great thing about watching satellite views is that you can view real photographs from anywhere on earth, Niagara Falls, The Coloseum, craters formed when dinosaurs roamed the land, and anything else you can think of. Your also able to save and share that great satellite image with your friends how about adding more interesting data like your first house, or the town you first lived in.

Another thing you can do once you have discovered your sight is that you can tilt and revolve the satellite view showing a birds eye view on the terrain.
