Default Satellite Imagery of Eastern US

I am looking for a source (free or subscription) of high resolution ground
imagery (10m or better) of the eastern US. I need daily/hourly images.
Visual and IR would be ideal. My intent is to observe changes from day to
day.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

OC

Unless you have very deep pockets, you aren't going to get 10m imagery
on a daily basis. If you can live with 250m, poke around he

Thanks Marc. The 250m are marginal, but may serve. I appreciate the link.

What changes are you interested in, and for what purpose?

Why dont you try Google Earth. Depending on what area you need, the
resolution is amazing. Go to www.google.com , search for google earth,
download and install the file.

While Google earth has amazing resolution, it will not show day to day
changes, and the images are usually over 1 year old...

Does anyone know how long images are "aged" prior to being made available on
Google Earth? My guess, based on local construction projects, is about 4
years.

It varies by region.

Using the same criteria with Google Maps for the Richland, Wa, area,
it's less than two years, maybe even one. But, maybe the update cycle is
4 years, even if it's a relatively new image when it is updated.

I still think it's amazing I can see which way my motorhome is pointing
(can't be sure about the glider trailer, though).
