satellite imaging
Space-based earth observation
Satellite imaging is the capture of photographs or other visual data of Earth's surface from orbiting spacecraft.
The technology enables weather forecasting, military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and mapping services like Google Earth.
Resolution varies from continent-scale views to images that can distinguish individual cars: Satellite imaging revealed the extent of the deforestation.
