Yes, we can get easily images from landsat or sentinel satellites, but the resolution isn't enough for seeing individual buildings like that, unfortunately. there are also the cbers ans an indian satellite which I don't remember the name, offering free high resolution images (still not on par with the ones in google maps), but will lack global coverage

Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world LockedAre there any tools I can use for translating a ~400 pages scanned book?

The photos might be from different sensors/cameras. You can also notice that the second seems to have a different lens angle of view.
But why not use images taken with the same instrument at the exactly the same time of the year? Because we don't have availability! Companies like maxar definitely have standardized high resolution aerial images from the entire world at regular intervals, but these images aren't free to the public, so we have to do with what we have available.
If skeptical, you can use google earth to see some high resolution historical images of the place, or you can grab some lower-resolution images from copernicus
