Spanning the globe



Beautiful time-lapse (1 min.) shot from the International Space Station as it orbits the Earth at night, from Antarctica to Zaire. [bOING bOING]


Also getting it all covered, WhatWasThere, a project that lets people upload photographs to create a photographic history of the world (or at least any place covered by Google Maps) to let you see what a location looked like in the past.

And some bonus questions... show what you know all over the place with geography quizzes galore.
