Is there a way to input a latitude and longitude and see a satelite or
aerial photo around the globe?

Terraserver is your best bet. They buy up declassified spy satellite
photos, and also commercial photos, and offer some pretty high
resolution pictures for free. They of course offer higher resolution
for printing as a service. Here's a link to their lat/long seach.
Please note though, most of the non-US countries might not have every
square mile mapped out just yet, and I've also provided a link to the
providers which source Terraserver and the international areas they
cover.

Thank you for your question and I'm glad I could find an answer for you.

Just what I was looking for!  Thanks

This address will bring you to an excellent source of true-color
satellite imagery. Type anything into the image gallery search engine
and amazing images will be provided. ie. great lakes, canada, usa or
whatever. Even typing the latitude and longitude values will bring
results.

silly me forgot to enter the link.  here it is

This is also a great site for viewing the earth at any lat/long position:

Play around with all of the controls available, some are pretty cool.
