There is an amazing amount of detail in this photo taken April 10, 2003 with a 250m resolution. Very cool stuff. With the large image (not the thumbnail presented above) you can zoom in pretty aggressively to see detail. Satellite photos are unbelievable now in their clarity - not so long ago, they were grainy black and white images that required magnification to get useful information. Makes you wonder what resolution of photo is available to intelligence services now…
