You can watch as a glacier retreats over four decades or see the greenery in the Amazon rainforest give way to roads. Though 2D timelapse videos have existed via Google Earth, these new additions in 3D not only show dimensional scale in some cases but also provide a more immersive experience. That number includes both 2D and 3D videos, and Google Earth's director of Earth Engine and Outreach Rebecca Moore said she's excited to see how governments, researchers, publishers, educators and advocates will 'use Timelapse in Google Earth to shine a light on the issues facing our planet.' Google also uploaded more than 800 of these videos to a directory for the public to download as MP4s for free. You'll find Timelapse by opening Google Earth and clicking on the ship's wheel in the company's Voyager platform. Today, Google is announcing its biggest update to the service since 2017, saying in a blog post that 'you can now see our planet in an entirely new dimension - time.' It's bringing 3D timelapse videos to Google Earth that anyone can watch and download for free. For many of us, Google Earth has provided that vantage point of looking at the world in almost real time from outer space. Thanks to satellite imagery, we've been able to get a better sense of how our actions can affect our planet on a larger scale. Feel free to contact us at any questions you may still have.The effects of climate change and our impact on Earth can be hard to visualize. We hope that you have found this tutorial on how to pinpoint the date of your satellite images, helpful. Gain access to vast historical datasets and create a Timeline for your project by importing ultra-high resolution imagery of up to 3'' through our new Timeviewsfeature. Want to monitor the progress of your project? This can be just a few days old in some cases! Through Plex-Earth, access to the most recent images directly from premium providers such as Maxar, Airbus, Hexagon, and Nearmap right inside AutoCAD is right at your fingertips.

Need more updated images for your project? You're in luck! NOTE: If no Imagery Date appears next to the location coordinates, you will need to zoom in further until it shows up.
