Here's a link to the GeoEye web page about the inauguration:

The page shows a low-res picture, but you can click on a link to download a hi-res version, which is about 8000 pixels square and about 6.7MB in size.

I liked it when Obama's benediction choice, Rev. Lowery, prayed for a day when "when white will embrace what is right”.

I guess we can always hope that one day white men, women and children will seek to be decent human beings, but…

As frosting on the cake Sen. Robert Byrd, Senior Senate Democrat and retired Klansman collapsed at the inauguration of first black man as President.

Actually seen these Geo-Eye-1 images. The media reports the people looked "like ants swarming around a lump of sugar."
Amazingly some portions of the White House have still been blurred to protect the occupants. After all the fuss of these events, really the truth is Obama words after him inauguration echoed more of the moment than some image of nameless bunch of supporters.
Still. His words of support for science and technology auger well for the future of America and the World – and probably more interested readers of Universe Today.

correction : interfere on market mentality

We saw the inauguration here in Greece also.
I liked him, he spoke very nice. I liked the points on ethical reasons, the friendship between countries, the need to intere on the market mentality that grew up enormously last century. His thoughts about the environment, about the investments and the creation of decent work for the people.
Becouse world economy is not based anymore on the produttivity of work. It moves on money games that are just paper at least.
Investments on work for the people is the best thing to do.
All here are impressed and talk about a new America ' s era. Congratulations again.

I can't wait to watch Obama show just how badly Bush and his conservative allies messed up this country so badly and how it will be fixed properly.

As if we needed any more proof of how inept and dangerous Bush was.

So long and good riddance, cowboy!

"Please remember, nearly half of our country did not vote for this man and will NOT be tuning in tomorrow to see his farce of a coronation."
I can't believe all of the Wah, Wah, crybaby stuff coming out of of conservative mouths. It's been comical and embarrising to hear Rush Limbaugh whine like a tortured brat for the past two months.

"he had a strange way of doing it but i think the guy was trying to make some sort of a joke. the clue is in how he equates liberals and science."

"Lol, I think I get it now pantzov… Sorry Jon if I took you out of context. I've been slammed so many times for including political articles on UT, I've become a little hardened to humorous comments "

"HAHA. I thought it was obvious that Jon was being sarcastic. Anyway, if I wasn't going to be at the event I would definitely be on the website checking out those satellite images. Sounds awesome."

Politics or any reference to politics rarely appears in UT (thankfully) so I could not help myself.

Cheers

Oh Puleeze! Can't the Dear Leader stay off the space sites? Please remember, nearly half of our country did not vote for this man and will NOT be tuning in tomorrow to see his farce of a coronation. Can't Universe Today keep the political stories on the political sites and let us regular folks have some sort of sanctuary to go to without hearing his name?

"Whilst a resistant non-resident of the US of A,, here in Australia all the free-to-air networks will be showing it live – blanket coverage – with no alternative programming for viewers at 3pm to 6am in the morning! Methinks Green Day got it right!"

With some notable programming exceptions from ABC and SBS, TV in Australia completely and utterly sucks anyway. This will just make it suck that little bit more. Perfect opportunity to get out under the stars I reckon.

I think watching the inauguration via satellite will make me feel like I'm in an episode of "24". Cool.

Really. Who needs satellite imagery, when clearly we just have television. Perhaps instead of worrying about projected images from space, we have to have the U.S. just taking over the entire satellite network carte blanche.

Does the United States want another additional 51st State, because this once independent country is clearly wantonly ripe for the picking!
Stunningly Appalled !!!

Just where on their website can you see up to date imagery? I don't see any links talking about the Inauguration and I don't find "up to date" links of live or near live imaging. Someone wanna point me in the right direction here, because I seriously doubt they are giving out the imagery for free.

To all you who are wondering how this is related to Universe Today, note that this article was filed under "Satellites" and "observing". Also note that this article is not the first to have that done.

So yes, it seems that there is a section in Universe Today for this sort of stuff.
