GeoEye-1: Can You Locate Yourself In These Inauguration Photos?

Here are some so-called "Satelite Photos" of the President Barack Obama Inauguration Day on January 20, 2008. (Click here to watch Barack Obama Inauguration Speech Video replay online.) These people are really like ants! Whew! This is so great! This is produced by GeoEye-1. What is it?

GeoEye-1, the satellite that will supply Google with high-resolution imagery of the Earth, took a high-resolution photograph of the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

The satellite is expected to start producing data for Google in coming weeks, but in the meantime, this shot shows a bit more tantalizing detail about what will show in Google Earth and Google Maps. It was taken from 423 miles up as the 4,300-pound satellite traveled 17,000 miles per hour.

Can you locate yourself in these Inauguration photos?
