Re:Why is the Gaza Strip blurry on Google Maps? by kylebarron on Monday May 17, 2021 @04:05PM (#27187769)
Once you pass a certain zoom (looks like zoom 11.5 here) the imagery is no longer recent. You can see the copyright statement change to "Microsoft", where it presumably just loads data from Bing maps.

At lower zooms, where the copyright is something like "GOES-East", that's more real-time data because it comes from geostationary satellites that can take (low resolution) images every few minutes.
