How to view a time-lapse of your hometown

First, go to your browser, then follow this link: g.co/Timelapse.


Next, head to the “Search the planet” search bar and enter any place on Earth.


Once you select an address, Google Earth will pull it up and begin showing the time-lapse.


The time-lapse map will appear on the left, and the search bar will be to the right.

Satellites have been recording the earth for over 50 years.... so it's just matter of Goggle being able to get access to past recordings.

Seen some maps from the 70's. Someone posted a link of the website awhile back.

It's interesting to see how man is chopping down trees like crazy and developing for MILES!

Great post, OP!

Neil Degrass Tyson said something to the effect that the government/military uses these technologies way before regular civilians get to use them.
