Besides helping pretty much everyone in the world get around since 2004, Google Earth has uncovered concentration and detention camps that North Korea has tried to keep secret for years. According to organizations like One Free Korea and The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 people are being held in these camps.

We Are Carl

A little creation by me to bring a close to Carl Sagan Day. Sagan showed us that understanding the universe is within everyone’s grasp, that we are all scientists, and that in a vast cosmic arena, this Pale Blue Dot holds all the beauty, pain, love and knowledge that make us what we are. This universe is worth understanding, and can we all play our part.
