Google Earth with NASA “lit the lights”
Google has introduced some impressive layers for Google Earth . The “Astronaut Photos” collection contains images taken by NASA over the past 40 years, and the “City Cities of Earth” layer shows a view of our planet at night from space. New layers can be found in the "Special Layers" section of Google Earth.
