This map is a remote sensory image of orbital satellites in .KML format viewed using Google Earth. This view is limited to the North and South Carolina area, but on Google Earth you can zoom in or out on the image to see different orbital satellite views. You can even go so far as to see the orbital satellite image of the entire earth (though the view is not nearly as clear).
For those of you that are unfamiliar with remote sensing imagery, remote sensing is defined as a measurement of an object's characteristics from a distance using reflected or emitted electromagnetic energy. In more simple terms, remote sensing is the collection of data without directly measuring the object.
