The wide-ranging project is comprised of more than 24 million satellite photos from the past 37 years, and took more than 2 million processing hours across thousands of machines in Google Cloud, Rebecca Moore, the director of Google Earth, Earth Engine & Outreach, said in a blog post. Google Earth recently launched Timelapse, a global, interactive video that lets users track changes across the Earth over the past three decades, including the impact of the climate emergency. Thanks to Google Earth's latest project, you no longer need a time machine to travel back to days of yore.
