As subtle as a flying brick.

I can see you!

Have you played with Google Earth recently? You can track flights live and in 3-D, or watch an animation of global cloud cover over the last 10 days, or simply make Google Earth prettier using NASA images. Google Earth isn’t limited to the current, you can also enable historical maps from the 1700s, and view an animation that will show you what will happen in the future to New York and San Francisco if the sea levels rise. Google Earth can also shed light on the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (and, indeed many other ship wrecks) to America’s top 150 buildings, now in all of their 3-D glory.
