They showed thermal signatures where an aircraft had been parked a few hours before. Or, slant views into a covered aircraft revetment. Or, pick a building in this photograph. Now pick a window on that building. Look inside to see how the room is furnished. All this by satellite.

Street view in Google Earth uses cameras on the ground.
