I've heard that spy satellites have resolution powerful enough to count the hairs on a fly's back from orbit. I'd love to see some retardedly huge images where you can zoom in to that level of detail, like google maps but without switching to different image collages at every zoom level.
The file would probably be unmanageably huge, though. Magic computers when?

Not even close anon. And never will be able to. Resolution is limited by wavelength of light. Period

There's always a possibility
Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Severe thunderstorms over the Great Plains.
>>2642188
haha good one
>>2642450
It seems like there is a possibility if you can't into physics.
>>2642188
Not from that distance
Not with the atmosphere
Not with any weather
Not with any camera made
Satellites have a pretty broad scope at best. If you're interested in any "real time" atmospheric satellite imagery, go to:
http://www.goes.noaa.gov/
>Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system, used for weather observation by meteorologists and some pilots
http://www.aviationweather.gov/satellite
>Aviation weather satellite imagery (scroll to the International Images). This almost all of the Earth imaged, except for the far north/south latitudes
wait...
are you >>2642268 saying that ''LIGHT'' is an entity (or species) and has a monthy menstrual cycle?
... --or-- ...
are >>2642268 ~> yoU (asssuming and falsely) believing that human beings have not yet --nor-- ever will develop a lens that can see the purple public hairs on a hermaphroditic Earth ambeo while looking through a telescope andeating a Bologna sandwich next to the black hole of tella-omaga-tRon-thRee-36Z-octain.
..because buddy >>2642268 ...you gotta lot to Learn !
Good thread op!

oh
is an airport

>There's always a possibility
Physics student here, I'm afraid it really isn't possible. Light defracts (i.e expands outward from a point source, the reflection of light off of a hair on a fly's back is such a point source), and the individual photons from the fly (if they hadn't been stopped by the atmosphere, which most are) would be at least meters apart by the time they reached orbit, to create a telescope that could physically capture that light would be hard enough since it would have to be absolutely huge, but even then the amount of noise light from other things would mean that you'd never be able to see it.
