Aerial imagery of the protests in Egypt

GeoEye has just released some high-resolution imagery of the protests in Egypt, taken over Tahrir Square in Cairo on January 29.

GeoEye does a great job of capturing fresh imagery from a variety of noteworthy events throughout the world. In the past, they’ve provided imagery from Burning Man 2010, the volcano in Iceland last April and President Obama’s inauguration two years ago.

I’ve taken this latest image and added it to Google Earth as an overlay, so you can download this KML file to see it for yourself.
