Watching the inauguration from space - Tech Digest
Watching the inauguration yesterday from the ground, it was almost impossible to get a proper sense of scale of the proceedings. It was clear it was massive, but how massive? Well, click the image above to get a bird's eye view of the scene in Washington from 681km up in the atmosphere. You see those brown blobs? Those are massive crowds of people. Millions, in fact. The image is courtesy of Google's (well, it's not really theirs) GeoEye-1 satellite. More awesome satellite images over the break.
