À l’image des expériences souvent réussies menées par le Creative Lab, ou la Google Data Arts Team, qui cherche à s’imposer sur le sujet. Avec, du côté de Google, quelques arrières pensées marketing, comme l’a montré l’une de ses récentes opérations de com’.

“My name is Al Gayhart and I built spy satellites for a living” - Yahoo! News
http://news.yahoo.com/decades-later-cold-war-secret-revealed-152207569.html

The scale, ambition and sheer ingenuity of Hexagon KH-9 was breathtaking. The fact that 19 out of 20 launches were successful (the final mission blew up because the booster rockets failed) is astonishing.
So too is the human tale of the 45-year-old secret that many took to their graves.
Hexagon was declassified in September. (...)
“They envisaged a satellite that was 60-foot long and 30,000 pounds and supplying film at speeds of 200 inches per second. The precision and complexity blew my mind.”
Several years later, after numerous successful launches, he was shown what Hexagon was capable of — an image of his own house in suburban Fairfield.
“This was light years before #Google_Earth,” Prusak said. “And we could clearly see the pool in my backyard.”

Where in the World? A Google Earth Puzzle - Alan Taylor - In Focus - The Atlantic
http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/11/where-in-the-world-part-2-a-google-earth-puzzle/100197

Looking at the world through via #Google_Earth offers striking images of the diversity of our planet and the impact that humans have had on it. Today’s entry is a puzzle — part 2 in a series (part 1 here), this time offering multiple choices. We’re challenging you to figure out where in the world each of the images below is taken.

Looking at the world through via Google Earth offers striking images of the diversity of our planet and the impact that humans have had on it. Today’s entry is a puzzle. We’re challenging you to figure out where in the world each of the images below is taken. (You’ll find answers and links at the bottom of the entry.) North is not always up in these pictures, and, apart from a bit of contrast, they are unaltered images provided by Google and its mapping partners.

#Gaza: Economic recovery and improved rocket technology. (2) - By Sharon Weinberger - Slate Magazine
http://www.slate.com/id/2298450/entry/0

And that’s where #Google_Earth comes in. The satellite mapping tool that was created with help from the CIA’s venture capital arm has now become a favored tool for rocket makers, who use it to help aim their artillery. Maps are quickly outdated, and don’t provide, as Google Earth imagery does, the precise locations of buildings, roads, and other potential targets.

The world’s nuclear reactors as you’ve never seen them...

if you zoom in and then click on a power plant, its circular symbol will open up to show each individual reactor at the plant, with the colour of the circle of each reactor depicting its design (for example, “boiling water reactor”). Then clicking on any reactor will bring up an information panel, giving the reactor’s basic technical details, and where available a photograph of the plant, as well as links to recent news stories about the plant.

A major advantage of #Google_Earth is that it is also easy to overlay other layers of #data on top of this base map of #nuclear power plants and reactors, so (time permitting) I could envisage, for example, adding such relevant geographical layers as datasets on #population_density, past significant #earthquakes and #tsunamis, as well as seismi
