Accessing live satellite imagery is typically not available to the general public in real-time due to various factors such as data processing, transmission, and privacy concerns. However, there are several services and platforms that provide access to recent satellite imagery that is regularly updated. Here are a few options:

  1. Google Earth: Google Earth provides high-resolution satellite imagery of Earth. While it may not be live or real-time, it offers updated imagery from various sources.

  2. NASA Worldview: NASA's Worldview tool provides access to a vast collection of satellite imagery from NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS). It offers near real-time imagery from multiple satellites.

  3. Commercial Satellite Imagery Providers: There are several commercial satellite imagery providers like DigitalGlobe (Maxar), Planet Labs, and Airbus Defense and Space, among others. These companies offer high-resolution satellite imagery, but the data may not be live and access might require a subscription or purchase.

  4. Weather Satellite Imagery: For weather-related imagery, you can explore sources like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT). They provide real-time and near real-time imagery of weather patterns and events.

It's important to note that while some satellite imagery may be publicly accessible, real-time or live access to high-resolution satellite imagery is generally limited to specific organizations, government agencies, and military purposes due to security and privacy concerns.
