With the Google’s free online mapping service, Earth has a come into better focus with an update version of Earth that takes an advantage of photos from a US Landsat 8 satellite.
Google has introduced the “cloud-free mosaic” of the planet three years ago at the Google Earth, and has on now began rolling out a newer version that uses new techniques to process sharper pictures gathered by the satellite sent into the orbit in year 2013, this was done as a part of a collaboration between US and NASA Geological Survey.

The Google Earth has previously relied on images from a Landsat 7 satellite, nut unfortunately it encountered a hardware problem that further resulted in large diagonal gaps in the pictures.
According to Chris Herwig the program manager, Google Earth creates an unobstructed view of the surface of Earth by analyzing millions of images and also by stitching together the clearest bits.
Google Earth is a part of free online mapping services which is offered by California-based Alphabet.
