Google stellt uns mit Timelapse ein zoombares Video zur Verfügung, das uns zeigt, wie sich die Erde in den vergangenen 32 Jahren verändert hat.
Jedes Video besteht aus 33 wolkenfreien Maps-Bildern, eines für jedes Jahr beginnend mit 1984 bis 2016. Verarbeitet werden dabei über 5 Millionen Satellitenbilder, die in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten von 5 verschiedenen Satelliten erstellt wurden. Die meisten Bilder stammen von Landsat-Satelliten, das ist eine Serie von zivilen Erdbeobachtungssatelliten der NASA. Seit 2015 werden die Landsat Bilder mit dem Bildmaterial von Sentinel-2A, dem Kopernicus-Erdbeobachtungsprogramm der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation.
