Google Earth

Google earth is images taken by satellite and they let you zoom in surprisingly far. Individual houses can be picked out from all over the world. Also as I didn't know until recently, there is a whole other side to google earth that lets you look at the stars and solar systems around the earth. There is so much detail and effort that has been put into creating it. Hundreds of the stars or solar sytems have little descriptions when you click on them. There is even an interactive side to it as the planets in our solar system can be moved according to a date that you set on a timeline so you can see where they were at that specific date. This is truly amazing. WorldWide telescope also does the same thing but in much greater detail. THere are so many different options on google earth that you could spend hours on it. Google maps also lets you look at the earth but is singles out the roads and puts each road name on the correct road. Google earth is truly remarkable.
