Giant Bug Invades Germany

Friday, September 29, 2006 8:08:57 AM (GMT Standard Time, UTC+00:00)

I was sent this link by Craig this morning, it's most ammusing and yet another reason not to goto Germany... :)

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&t=k&q=Germany&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=48.857699,10.205451&spn=0.002404,0.006738&om=1

It got me wondering how they take these photos, I always assumed it was digital sent down to NASA (or similar) but having an in-focus insect on the shot is most intreging, even if it was crawling across during post-processing it would be black and not in focus.

Perhaps there really is a 50m bug in Germany, or perhaps it's just another rouse like the guy that wrote f**k in the field.

From what I know, the photos are taken by planes, not satellites. A plan could realistically have a bug on it - though, you'd expect it to be in more than one.
