If you are using a recent version of Google Earth it now tells you
automatically. I'm usning teh following version:

Google Earth: 4.3.7284.3916 (beta)
Build Date: Jul 8 2008
Build Time: 19:04:33
Renderer: OpenGL
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 3)

Along the bottom of my Google Earth screen I have three pieces of
information. On the left is Lat & Long, in the center is the
elevation of the point on the map my cursor is at, on the right is Eye
Alt. If i am zoomed in sufficently and there is high resolution
imaging on screen a forth piece of info appears 3/4 of the way over to
the right and that is the date of the image my cursor is resting
over. If your version doesn't display this, get the newest version.
I think this feature was just added recently. I don't rember noticing
it before my last update.
