Because of this fact, it is very important to slow down the speed of the animation. Images are only downloaded while both the timeframe and location of the image are shown.Hovering your mouse over it will allow you to control the loop. When viewing a KML (Google Earth) file that includes time information, a transparent looping control will appear in the upper left corner of Google Earth.īefore you get started, a couple very important tips:
The following product loops are available for viewing in Google Earth, which is available for free download at. The further you zoom in on the image, the better the resolution will become until you reach the maximum. This is accomplished by turning the full resolution imagery into small "tiles" that are only downloaded as needed. Using Google Earth, we now have the ability to view product loops at the highest resolution available, without having to transfer huge amounts of data. Please see SLIDER for the latest satellite imagery. If you zoom in on the satellite you can actually watch its animated track as the satellite orbits the Earth.Data from RAMMB accessible in Google Earth has been discontinued. The application allows you to select any orbiting satellite and view its current position on a Google Map. Real Time Satellite Tracking lets you track any satellite live on Google The Street View option is really useful as it shows the elevation of the satellite from your point of view and provides a great guide to where you should be looking in the night sky.
What really impresses me, however, is the Street View option that allows the user to view the satellite superimposed on top of Google's Street View imagery. The Google Map view shows the path of the satellite around the Earth and the Google Earth option allows you to view the path of the satellite as if you were looking down from space. ToriSat is an amazing satellite tracking website that allows anyone to track satellites on Google Maps, in the Google Earth Browser plug-in and even in Google Street View.
The line of sight to the satellite is then displayed on the map. You can then select the satellite you wish to view by selecting its name from a list, sorted by continent. Using Satellite Finder you can search for an address or just click on the globe to show your current location. Satellite Finder uses the Google Earth browser plug-in to help you quickly find the direction to an orbiting satellite from any location.
