Watch an Interactive Time-Lapse of Earth's History From Space by Google, NASA and TIME. Have you ever wanted to go back in time to see what the planet looked like in yesteryear? Today, Google working with TIME magazine, NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is releasing more than a quarter-century of images of Earth taken from satellites in space, all compiled for the first time ever into an awesome interactive time-lapse experience! Google believes “this is the most comprehensive picture of our changing planet ever made available to the public.” The time-lapse images were built from millions of satellite photographs consisting of trillions of pixels.

These stunning images were collected during an ongoing joint mission between the USGS and NASA called Landstat. As the final step, Google worked with the CREATE Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, recipients of a Google Focused Research Award, to convert all these Earth images into a seamless, browsable HTML5 animation on Google’s Timelapse website. What do you think about the Earth time-lapse project? 56L4ONm.jpg (960×687)
