Google Earth - a journey through space and time
 

Latest GE includes a partially detailed globe of Mars.

But even better, Earth now has a clock icon to accesses data sets from
different eras... so you can see what City Airport looked like before and
after the DLR was built.

Thanks, John.

I'm wondering about the famous censored blob north of Katwijk. If you go
back a few years you can get a proper image of it, but it looked like just
houses. Has something secret been built since, or are they censoring houses?

Er, any particular reason to be discussing this with yourself (the
headers of the two posts suggests they are from the same source), or
have I merely lost my sense of humour, or should I not ask?

Or not, as the case may be. Hey, I just wanted to join in the fun too.

Oi, Mizter T, you're an idiot, signed Mizter T.

This was discussed about 2 years ago. Some clever clogs managed to find out
what it was in the end though.

I found this news article (in Dutch) which basically says that the people
who
live in the area are unhappy because their houses are hidden beneath the
blob
and therefore want it removed.

And if you look at Rwy 09L at Heathrow and take it to Early 2004 you can see
that lovely imaging error which shows the same Air France aircraft if four
different places.
