That might be useful for geographic lessons at school :)

Interesting but low resolution/quality compared to other tools... so not sure the use case they are going for or whether this will stick around long term...

this is brilliant!!!

Looks like an educational version of http://www.nearmap.com

"The goal of Planet Explorer is to enable users, both commercial and humanitarian, to browse the imagery we have and understand how it can meet their needs. We hope this will lead to more commercial partnerships and ensure humanitarian benefits are enabled. We also hope it will change the way people think about satellite imagery."

Very low resolution contrary to the promise that if you create an account you will see high resolution imagery.
