[Geysers] satellite imagery refresh rate

[David Schwarz]

   I don't think the satellite images refresh at all.  The construction of
my apartment in Houston was completed in March of 2004, and it's barely even
a construction site in the satellite image.  I suspect these are just a
bunch of really old images that Google managed to get their hands on
somehow.

    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!
