Its a programme that you can download and it shows you a satellite images of the earth. You can zoom in to most places... for example I've found the Hollywood Sign and Area 51!!

Heh heh, when I first saw the thread title, I was like 'Earth? Why would I google that? How would that be fun?'

What you've described does seem pretty cool, though!:bigsmile:

It is really good. Mac users can't use it though, apparently.

Aww, wish I could get it. I don't have Mac, but my computer doesn't like downloading things.

You have to have a pretty fast PC to be able to cope with vast amount of data!

Ah, that explains it. My PC finds it hard to cope with a lot of things.
