Felt inspired by Alan and Noel to have a go at producing some Google Earth Art, in order to support students and fellow members of the department I produced this PowerPoint, I understand the use of the image is naughty.
Noel has also recently used Flickr to produce art using Creative Commons licensed images, looks great as well.

As reported on the B.B.C. , Google Earth now allows you to view the night sky from your position on the Earth, it requires an update, perhaps this would be useful to our science colleagues? I had a good exploration of the sky.

Time well spent investigating this….
Yesterday I suggested you look at the Ozone overlay in Google Earth. Here are some others that you may wish to have a look at. Those who don’t have Google Earth, can download it for free.
I never get bored of looking at this night and day image of the Earth. I think it makes you realise, how you are just a small part of a very big picture, There is also a Google maps mash up that shows this image. If you want an overlay for Google Earth you can download it here. Basically this map shows population density, look at where the light concentrations are greatest, particularly the East Coast of America and Europe: perhaps more interesting is where the population density is sparse, can you spot the Sahara, Himalayas and Amazon rainforest? Why are people unable to live in these extreme environments? (more…)
