It's a torrent.
This program is damn cool!
You can probably zoom down to your house with this.
Might take time loading a more detailed version of an area as you zoom in.
But damn it's cool.

Btw, this is bigger then the file I downloaded but I'd say that's a compression issue. If it doesn't work just look for another version, probably will work though. Should have a read me file with instructions on how to make some extra functions work.

Enjoy.

This probably deserves it's own thread, but...ah well.
Another program for planets and hell even galaxies. It's just way too cool. It's free, get it here: http://www.shatters.net/celestia/download.html

And for a crapload of awesome add-ons to make everything waaaay more detailed go here: http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/

Google Earth also has alot more than meets the eye. I'm confused myself since I just got it, I'm not sure how to get the detailed images, even after doing so once.

Time to hit the help forums. These are two programs I'm gonna know everything about, sooner or later.

Yeah, but Pro is pointless. I used to have Google Earth installed, it was pretty nifty, I found my house, a few friends' houses, my mom's sister's house, and even my grandparents' house in India, as well the rough area where we stayed in Rome this past summer. I uninstalled it a few days ago. It's good for novelty, but then it's useless.

Take a look @ NASA's WorldWind.

A somewhat similar feature

What's the difference between the free and pro versions?

I love Google Earth, I've used it since it came out, and its a great tool. I'm in the process of going around the world (my current location is somewhere in North Carolina). It's fun.

I have no idea. I just downloaded pro, since I thought if something isn't free, it should be better. I stumbled upon this by chance in a torrent site. I didn't even know there was a free version until I saw the forums for it.
