Is there anywhere to see a real time satellite image of Earth?
In particular of the UK?

- Unless you work for some government or satellite monitoring agency, I think not. I recall someone telling me long ago (someone who worked with satellites) that all satellite images released to the public had to be at least X (like 2-4) years old. It was curious because I used to look at my high school on google earth and notice that a building which had been erected that same year didn't show up on google earth until a few years later--yet some satellite images on the program were fairly up-to-date. I'm US east coast if that helps.
- No. In fact, emphatically no. Such an image could (and would) be used as real-time intelligence by enemy nations, local thieves and terrorists. That would be a bad thing!
