If you’ve spent a sufficient amount of time on the internet then there is a high likelihood that you know about something called Google Earth. Basically, Google uses satellite images of the earth and puts it on an interactive, virtual globe. This allows people to see their houses from above and even their whole city. It’s also a great way to visit places on earth you never could before.
But not everything that Google Earth finds is ordinary or uninteresting. There are some mysteriously amazing things out there that most people never would have known about, if not for this great service. Here are 10 amazing images captured by Google’s satellites!
