Brookhaven National Laboratory
This one of several laboratories run by the United States Department of Energy. The large, circle shaped structure is a 3 mile long Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
Thanks Chris.
All sights in New York
Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Empire State Building
There’s loads of cool things to find in Manhattan, but this shot of the Empire State Building is probably the best. The photo is at quite an angle so you can see a lot of the building. Also, over to the West, you can easily spot Madison Square Garden; it’s the big circle.
Niagara Falls
Crazy, here’s Niagara Falls, and I had no idea it went from America, Northwards to Canada! I always thought it was the other way around. Oh well, that shows you what Superman teaches us… nothing.
Concorde
Please note that some or all of the objects mentioned in this post are no longer visible on Google Earth or Google Maps.
This one shows you how long ago some of this images were taken. Here’s Concorde at JFK, presumably before April 2003. I’ve also beeen wondering if the people at Keyhole (Whom Google bought the technology from) had to Photoshop out any planes photographed in flight, as I can’t find any at all…
Updated: Turns out that there are loads of planes in flight!
Liberty Island
The Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island. You can also see the Staten Island ferry going past in the bottom right.
