The GeoEye-1 satellite took a high-res photo of the inaugural proceedings from 423 miles overhead, whipping by at 17,000 mph. Here's a version of the whole thing (but not full-res).

Also don't miss the Photosynths on MSNBC and CNN.

[Cool, thanks. I saw mention of these earlier today, but when I looked I didn't find any examples ready to post. --J.]
