Satallite images taken from space

...and they're not realtime, but cached images usually 6 months or so old.

i found my grans house on google earth.

is that site legal? it says the images are used without permission...

Wow! Flash Earth is cool!

Not quite as cool as Google Earth though

I like the 3D terrain.
