Google Earth lets users visit any place on the planet. Now, you can see how those places have changed over time.
Google announced an update Thursday to the program which will allow users to explore the evolution of a location in timelapse form.
The company says they have compiled 24 million satellite photos from the past 37 years to create its Timelapse experience.
"With Timelapse in Google Earth, we have a clearer picture of our changing planet right at our fingertips — one that shows not just problems but also solutions, as well as mesmerizingly beautiful natural phenomena that unfold over decades," said Rebecca Moore, the director of Google Earth, Earth Engine & Outreach, in a blog post Thursday.
