Earth and Moon Viewer


This is a fascinating site that enables you to view live pictures of the earth and moon through the use of satellite imagery. If I followed the directions on the site correctly, the image here should change throughout the day as the sun rises and sets.

There are lots of parameters to play around with. I just know it's a lot of fun! The site is provided by Fourmilab Switzerland and it is developed and maintained by John Walker, the founder of AutoDesk and co-author of AutoCad.

The URL for Earth and Moon Viewer is:
