Google buys Keyhole

WTF is Google doing ?? I know that key hole was a suprise entry into the Web2.0 conference (at least they opened their doors , ie. keyhole.com).

Spectrum of services..."Keyhole maintains a multiterabyte database of digital images of geographic locations, culled from satellite and aerial snapshots. Users can enter an address and pull up an image of the specified area; they can also create flyover animations of locations such as venues and neighborhoods. "

But does anyone know that Pic of the week ; at one point of time was being beamed down by keyhole.com ??
