The Top 10 on Google Sky

  • If you ever want to see the beginning of a galactic collision, be sure to visit the outskirts of NGC2207.
  • While most likely seen before, The Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula are one of Hubble's crown jewels—be sure to look at their X-ray spectrum as well for hidden clues as to new stars forming.
  • For more galactic collision action, see the Mice galaxies, NGC 4676.
  • For further proof that Einstein was right, have a look at an extreme example of gravitational lensing.
  • For things that go (or went) boom, have a look at Chandra's images of Kepler's Supernova Remnant, and the remnant of supernova G292.0+1.8. Note that both are basically invisible in the visible spectrum.
  • Since the majority of our readers reside in the northern hemisphere, I suggest having a look at something you will never see here in the night sky: the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy is quite a sight.
  • While the CMB represents the earliest views we have of the universe, it is worthwhile to check out the galaxies furthest from us, taken courtesy of Hubble's Deep Field imager.
  • Finally, check out a pair of nebula, the Crab and Rosette, that show their colors in the infrared spectrum courtesy of Sptizer.

Top 10 Naked People on Google Earth

10) The one that got so many people so hot under the collar. Many people think she’s on her front, but personally I remain unconvinced.

9) Very close to the original topless sunbather, this one is definitely female, I think. It looks like she’s lying on her front, and she does appear to have some kind of top on, so keep your hair on people!

8 ) Just six doors down, here’s a half-naked Dutch, person. Wearing a sarong perhaps?

7) This ones been widely discussed on other sites, but I personally reckon this is a guy, wearing shorts. Phew!

6) This person thinks they have privacy on this rooftop (haven’t they seen Enemy of the State?), and they’re definitely topless! (Sex unknown of course, but topless nevertheless.)

5) Outside a café on the beach (presumably before it opened that day), we find someone sitting calmly in a chair, blissfully unaware the whole world can now see them in their birthday suit.

4) The previous nudist may have also been unaware that just on the other side of the building, there was another person sunning themselves - flat on their back and completely in the altogether! Does anyone know someone that works in this café by the way?

3) Again on the beach, here’s a couple of naked people who think they can hide behind a wind-break! Pah! Don’t they know there is no escape?

2) Hiding away behind some bushes is no escape either… Mind you, I wish that person would keep their legs together. Yeuch!

1) Well, do you know of a better one? I’m sure there’s loads more brilliant ones yet to be found, so get searching! Post a comment with your find then I’ll add the best ones here.
