Google Earth got a Street View feature that effectively lets users travel through time. The tech giant announced this week that it was bringing historical Street View imagery to Google Earth, which lets folks look back at past pictures of the world.

Google Maps' street view function has been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Before moving to the UK, it was the single biggest source of information on the new location I'd chosen via proverbial dart throw.

Google announced on Tuesday that you can now access historical Street View imagery on Google Earth. Until now, you’ve only been able to access historical Street View imagery on Google Maps. Google says the launch will allow people to explore from even more viewpoints, whether it’s a bird’s-eye view or at street level.
