Its high resolution satellite images come from DigitalGlobe (which also supplies images for NASA), but they have a number of other sources (e.g. GeoEye, EarthSat). Google also collects images by plane, hot air balloons, and kites. You can find the specific provider of an image by looking at the copyright information at the bottom of the Google Earth window.

A satellite in space. For street views, cars from google take pictures.

That sounds like a satellite pic. That pic was probably communicated from the satellite as you typed in the address. That is my guess.
