Not closed, just taking a breather...

The Earth At Night (Beta Temporarily Closed)

Welcome, frustrated would-be planet surfer.

We appreciate your interest in accessing 3D geospatial information, but due to the technical limitations of this beta launch, Google Earth has been forced to take a brief breather. Please check back with us soon.

Thanks,

The Google Earth Team

obviously if the public has a tool like this i can imagine the govt. has been able to do this for years.

America has something like 500 spysats in orbit. something like the capability to take a snapshot of a particular location every 30 or 45 minutes.

It is free, that's just a link to the file because google took down the download. But, they left the file on their server, I posted a link somewhere, but I don't want to go find it.
