#12Where the data are coming from? Can't find a word about it in README.

#13is it live? Like can a get a pic of a place made at day light in the last 24 hours?
Hi, not yet. It searches for all Landsat 8 images on AWS with lowest cloud cover.
But even at it's full potential, Landsat 8 gives a temporal resolution of 14 days for a location, iirc.

#14Hey the images turn out great. That’s really cool!
Thank you!

#15Felicette is a dead-simple CLI tool which searches, downloads, generates, and visualizes satellite imagery in the form of RGB jpegs, taking inputs in the form of location's name or coordinates. It also has options to visualize CIR vegetation data.
Neat project! The example photos in Drive are a bit wonky on mobile and only one of the files is accessible. Consider adding a few example photos in the readme. What’s the licensing and usage rights of the produced images?
Right, thanks for the feedback. They are 16bits JPEGs, thus the large file sizes.
And the images are generated in your system with the data from a public source.
Not sure who owns the copyright to them. ^^

Oops, will add a section soon. But for now, it gets the data from a public Landsat 8 AWS storage.

#17This is neat!
I’ve built something similar, although my tool can pull its data from any service that supports tile indexing via the Web Mercator Transform (e.g. Google Maps, OSM, basically every online mapping service):

Its original purpose is the creation of Twitter bots like the ones liked below, but it works well for grabbing detailed satellite maps of arbitrary areas.

#19A couple of comments...
> TL;DR: Generate JPEG earth imagery from a location's name/coordinates
It downloads imagery. At first I thought this was a project to simulate satellite imagery from OSM data or something.
> This tool is for a sentient being who wants to view high-res satellite imagery of earth
Landsat is what 30 meters-per-pixel? That's not high-resolution.
