On a somewhat related note, Google Sky is awesome.

It's more fun if you end a post like that with "carrier lost". For example, the FBI smells and I don't agree with their morals. Hang on, there's somebody as my door. Oh, it's$#*U#U*#FCG *CARRIER LOST*

The internet connection at work sucks, so the terrain loaded slower than the plane was flying. Works much better at home.
