GeoEye, a provider of satellite and aerial-based geospatial information, has started delivering high-resolution, colour satellite imagery from its newest satellite to Google.

The GeoEye-1 satellite images that are being highlighted by Google were all taken within the last 60 days and include images of the Pyramids of Giza, Mount Fuji, Sydney Australia, and many other recognisable locations.

The images were all taken from 423 miles in space as GeoEye-1 moved around the Earth at 17,000 miles per hour. The 4,300-pound GeoEye-1 satellite was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. on 6 September 2008.
