Google Earth originated from a project called "Keyhole," developed by a company named Keyhole, Inc., founded by John Hanke in 2001. The software was designed for visualizing geographic data and was later acquired by Google in 2004. After the acquisition, Google rebranded it as Google Earth, launching it to the public in 2005. The platform combined satellite imagery and mapping technology, revolutionizing how users interact with geographic information.
