I am working on a small creek in Colorado using historical imagery via Google earth. I want to know if the imagery date at the bottom of each image on google earth is the date the google acquired the image. Or, is it the date the satellite recorded it?

I came across this blog post online (https://www.quora.com/How-can-you-find-out-the-date-of-satellite-images-used-in-Google-Maps), which suggests that the two dates do not always match.

Does google provide metadata for imagery? Please advice.
