But not the least disappointed, his hometown was not visible at all, whether it is covered by cloud or satellite has not updated the image.
But different from the astronomers. Google Earth is also usually used by them. The ability of Google Earth to identify the surface of the Earth and define it with the value of latitude and longitude make Google Earth useful as a pointer coordinate of a place and determining the direction of Qibla in some places.
