confirms what I've always suspected, that the satellites are taking pictures
from different angles, not just straight down, and then there must be some
software manipulation to make every picture look like it was taken from directly
overhead. I'm assuming that since the plane was probably at 35,000 feet
the software didn't correctly adjust it's dimensions. The question is why
do they bother to adjust the picture at all? Is is just the desire
for consistency or viewing angle or something
else?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
