2013 Google has worked with the US Geological Survey (USGS) and NASA to collect a series of satellite images from 1984 to 2012, which would form the basis of Google Earth Timelapse.
After a long period of inactivity, Google has decided to release one update Google Earth Timelapse, giving us a better one projection of Earth's change.
For the realization of this update, Google collaborated with the Landsat Global Archive Consolidation Program και το TIME για να επεκτείνει τα έτη προβολής από το 1984 έως το 2016 καθώς να κάνει ένα καλύτερο κοσκίνισμα μέσα από 5.000.000 δορυφορικές εικόνες για να επιλέξει τις καλύτερες. Επίσης η Google φρόντισε οι 33 εικόνες (μία ανά έτος) να μην εμποδίζονται από σύννεφα.
When it will visit it Google Earth Timelapse you can zoom in on the area of Earth you're interested in, or select a location from the list below the timeline, or even do search in the field “Search for Places".
Once you find your area, click the play button to start the timelapse. The speed can be changed from fast to medium and to slow enchange, depending on your preference.
You will be able to see within a few seconds that your city is growing, major transport routes to be constructed (such as Attica, Corinth, Egnatia etc), the two central ports of Greece will change as well as a bunch of other local changes made by 1984 to date.
And if you are interested in a little beyond your area then you can discover the changes at the North and South Poles and realize what is this "global warming" that everyone is talking about.
