While it's fun to explore the world by zooming around on Google Earth, there's just something uninspiring about most satellite images. While the earth is 100 percent most definitely round, many of these images are taken straight down, making the world appear flat, and, well, kinda boring.
However, when an image captured by a satellite is taken at an angle, the perspective changes. Photos of landscapes and structures no longer look like two-dimensional maps.
Planet Labs, Inc. recently released a collection of these stunning images, which show the wonder and beauty of Earth in a perspective unlike the satellite imagery we've become accustomed to. From the bustling skyline of Shanghai to the the world's tallest waterfall, experience the world around you like never before.
