(Pocket-lint) – Google Earth lets you view a 3D representation of the Earth, mostly from satellite images. Now it will let you see how the planet has changed over the past 37 years with just a few clicks.
Google announced on April 15, 2021 that Google Earth will allow users to explore the evolution of a place through a time-lapse experience. It has compiled 24 million satellite photos from the past four decades, with the aim of providing a clearer picture of how the planet is changing. “An image that shows not only the problems but also the solutions, as well as mesmerizingly beautiful natural phenomena unfolding over decades,” said Rebecca Moore, director of Google Earth, in a blog post.
Google plans to continue adding new images to this project every year for the next decade. The company collaborates with NASA, the Landsat program of the US Geological Survey and the Copernicus program of the European Union. He has also worked with Carnegie Mellon University’s CREATE Lab to power timelapses.
