This is very cool.
Here is a half-meter resolution image of the US Capitol and National Mall taken by the GeoEye-1 satellite Tuesday morning during President Obama’s inauguration. Two million people from this altitude look like ants.

H/T to our friends at Boing Boing.
What an amazing satellite picture!
Image if we had this technology when John Kennedy was sworn into office? So the Washington police said this morning the crowds reached 2 million people. This image captured 2 million Americans peacefully gathered to celebrate our new president.
Thanks for posting it.
Wow! So this is what the occupants of the International Space Station would have seen looking down at the inaugural yesterday?
Indeed, very cool.
This is a beautiful picture. For one moment in time, it was as if the entire world was in Washington DC and united behind one man, one purpose. We will never see anything like this again.
Great picture!
