Photographically speaking it's actually quite a complex topic, even on the ground: the way focus is affected by the curve of the lens used, in relation to the distance, perspective and/or curve of what is being photographed - there are even special lenses used to account for this affect (tilt-shift lenses), BUT, ironically, they are often used in photography and film to PRODUCE the effect where it doesn't appear - so it gets even more complicated:
The effect is often used to make large expansive scenes appear distorted and small, to make landscapes look like they are miniature models, or further away than they are.
Check out the watermarks under the google earth pictures. The more different corporations listed; the more effort was made to vet the picture. They're mushing over artificial coastlines; put clouds over underwater ruins; add vegetation over the so called star-forts; fucking around with little stripes of visibility within large obfuscated parts (Antarctica for example) and so on. They also use the power of the many looking for any irregularities from the revisionist past, as the trailblazer for the revisionism going on now.
So there's different satellites and the images we see are essentially comprised of many images stitched together. They prioritize the satellites with higher temporal and spatial resolution over areas of increased interest.
No you totally ignored what i said just to be contrarian. We're saying the same thing. They prioritize taking images over areas of interest which means more frames 🤦♂️

because they are ariel photographs taken with planes, not satellites
Aerial
That's the fella, I knew it didn't look right

The more I wake up to the madness, the more I agree with globe skeptics.
