Haven’t taken time to relax and watch the sunset lately?

Now, thanks to Eternal Sunset, you can see the sun setting 24 hours a day. The site follows web cams around the globe and posts photos from current sunsets. Using Google Maps you can also track upcoming sunsets yourself.

Don’t have the extra cash to splurge on sightseeing adventures this summer?

Try sightseeing with Google Maps. This site lists the most popular tourist attractions around the globe and lets you zoom in to see for yourself using the interactive satellite maps.

Feel like trying space travel?

Check out Google’s map of Mars and play space cadet for a day.
