Yet again technology proves to be worthy enough of getting us all connected. Who would have thought that you can view satellite imagery live on your browsers even 10-15 years ago. 

GeoEye-1, also referred to a the Google Satellite(Google has a deal to use its pictures for its Google Maps and Google Earth products), will be covering the election inauguration campaign on Tuesday live, being the only media coverage source with a perspective from Space.

423 miles above Washington, D.C. on January 20 at 11:19AM EDT, the satellite will be focusing on the Grand Parade of Mr. Obama, live..

An image of the Inauguration has been requested by many news organizations. So, if the weather cooperates, the image will be distributed to news organizations and bloggers around the world. The image will be available about three hours after it’s taken.

Check out one of the live streams here.
