[Geysers] satellite imagery

[Dave TAYLOR]

I may be mistaken, but I don't believe the images provided by this link
are 'real time', or anything close to it.  In looking in my own
neighborhood, I can see the Wal-mart strip mall that was started 4 years
ago.  On thie image, Wal-mart is there, but Village Inn, Checker Auto
etc. are not built yet.  I get the feeling these photos are no more than
3 years old, but I may very well be mistaken.

Also, in looking at these photos, I notice that some parts of
Yellowstone are not available at the highest levels of resolution.  For
instance, Wapiti trail east of Ribbon Lake disappears for about 6-8
miles, then the high resolution re-appears.  I know this is a remote
area, but it surprises me that there isn't the higher resolution photos.
 I don't know if this is b/c the satelite didn't take them, Google
didn't pay for them or Google hasn't gotten them up yet.

Any ideas?

    What fun!  Does anyone who's looking at the images have the 
impression you can tell when some of the bigger fountain geysers are 
erupting?  I can see Morning and Fountain filling (based on the shape
of 
the border and the amount of blue I'm seeing) but wondered if it was 
refreshing fast enough to see little white bursts or steam clouds. 
What 
a nice fix for a dull April day!
