Ok, this is from a NASA website:
We also made an empirical estimate of spatial resolution for lower contrast vegetation boundaries. By clearing forest so that a pattern would be visible to landing aircraft, a landowner outside Austin, Texas (see also aerial photo in Lisheron 2000), created a target that is also useful for evaluating spatial resolution of astronaut photographs. The forest was selectively cleared in order to spell the landowner's name 'LUECKE' with the remaining trees (figure 10). According to local surveyors who planned the clearing, the plan was to create letters that were 3100 ´ 1700 ft (944.9 ´ 518.2 m). Photographed at a high altitude relative to most Shuttle missions (543 km) with a 250-mm lens, Formula 3 predicts that each pixel would represent an area 28.6 ´ 36.0 m on the ground (table 5). When original film was digitised at 2400 ppi (10.6 mm/pixel), letters correspond to 29.4 ´ 18.8 pixels for a comparable pixel size of 27 – 32 m.
I don't know how in the world Rocketeer foud it. Pretty cool.
B1-B ready for take-off at Hill AFB, Utah, part of The Register's - Google Earth: the black helicopters have landed competition winners.
Looking at ShareYourAdventure.com as the service to save our #socialhiking adventures. It capped a great day out.
The road is blocked where Google Maps told me to turn right…because doing so would mean my avoiding the ferry fare.
Googlemap of Marrackville Station and the freight lines that cascade out from it.
West of Marrackville is Dulwich Hill station which has a long photo opportunity to the West but the Eastern shot has a tight curve similar to Marrackville's West curve. Dulwich also has a central island platform which means more bowlage problems.
Google Maps is having language issues. (I noticed a street renamed in French the other day too, but I can't find it.)
The "Phillips Russell PhD" Place Page for Cambridge, MA, in Google Maps.
Screengrab I used to demonstrate in an article on how heavy Wikipedia's influence has become in Google Maps rank.
Screengrab of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery I used in illustrating an article on how Wikipedia has grown in importance for Google Maps rankings.
Fun with Google Maps. A reconstructed view of one of my favorite running courses - the Laguna Peak access road, which runs 3.2 miles up the side of a mountain to a military installation at the peak.
