The World Sunlight Map
Two things we really like at Net-Warriors are cool images and cool technology and here’s an example of both. The World Sunlight map uses a combination of several satellite images, a DOD program that maps city lights and some very clever implementation to provide a computer generated approximation using real images to show what the earth looks like from space at the moment.
You can choose either a flat map or globe view and a few other variations. You can even embed it on your own web page if you wish.
The best way to summarize this site to quote the author himself - ‘While less impressive than actually being into orbit, this is much more accessible to most of us.’
