Virtually Visit Any Place In The World
 
World Wind 1.3 Software from NASA

http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/index.html

World Wind lets you zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth. Leveraging Landsat satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, World Wind lets you experience Earth terrain in visually rich 3D, just as if you were really there.


This is realy cool, lets you take an aerial view of any place on earth. I just picked a city at random (Seattle) and I zoomed over a neigborhood high school (Garfield High). This is how clear the picture gets by zooming in.

Google Earth is very similar. It's fun to look up your own address.
