Google Earth 4.3: Way Cool!

After spending time last night in Second Life at an ISTE social with 50 other people (avatars), it was nice to get back to the real world this morning to see that Google has made some great updates to Google Earth!
Version 4.3 includes clouds and lighting, so you can actually view the sunrise and it's affect on an area within Google Earth. They have also improved the 3-D building rendering and have now imbeded the Street View images from Google Maps inside GE.
Check out the video here to see all of these cool features.

Awesome - my students are researching Hadrian's Wall and comparing it to a structure of their choice anywhere in the ancient or modern world and this grabbed their attention faster than anything I've seen. They are so excited to get researching and see their structures from all the new view points being offered. Thanks for sharing Michael.
