Satellite imagery is when, "Radiant energy from the earth is measured by a satellite radiometer and stored as digital values in two-dimensional arrays of pixels, which make up the image." (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/science/creating/first_steps/obs_sat_imagery.html).
This is a satellite image, which I created using Google Earth, which relates to Panama City, FL. and the Gulf of Mexico near there with markers from NOAA's Coral Reef Watch using Google Earth 5.0. Google Earth 5.0 is a free program and can be used to view any area around the globe. So, if you wanted to see your house, or any other place, from the air; get Google Earth 5.0 and have fun!
The first website above is a link to NOAA's Coral Reef Watch page and has links which lead to the download page for Google Earth as well as the Coral Reef Watch packages. If you decide to use Google Earth; download and install the Google Earth program, use the link above to download the Coral Reef Watch packages, and follow the instructions.
