In addition to the hundreds of thousands of amateur and professional photographers snapping pics of the Inauguration, there was also a satellite orbiting 423 miles above Earth that was getting some decent shots too.
From Popular Science...
Stunningly clear satellite images of the tops of some two million heads during today’s inauguration. These images were snapped at 11:19am today by GeoEye-1, the most powerful commercial imaging satellite in the sky, from 423 miles above the trampled grass on the National Mall. GeoEye-1’s optics allow it to discern objects about 16 inches in size, or about the size of home plate. (click on the photo to zoom in)
