Google wrote their own parser to create single tile packages from ESA's multi-tile .SAFE packages. Unfortunately it seems they also decided to change the metadata - which is a real bummer. I suspect the ingestion was done by the EarthEngine team, maybe they can help you out in this regard: groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/google-earth-engine-developers

Additionally: Why would you say the earth rotates "east to west", when in the next paragraph you effectively say the point is moving eastwards, i.e. to east?

But if you take the sun as reference for the Earths roatation any point on its surface will move from West to East, which also explains why of two points the one more East will get light from the sun earlier than one in the West - effectively explaining sunrise in the East and Sunset in the West.

@nmpeterson Are you referring to this feature? resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//…
