I spent the better part of a month doing just this. Really fascinating. There are also several public satellite imagery repos (mostly European sources, but they’re satellites, so they aren’t limited to Europe).
For those interested in remote sensing, there's also Landsat with freely available multi-band imagery https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/
