  This is really cool.
  
  I recently came across this company called Skybox Imaging (http://www.skyboximaging.com/products#imagery) that has developed micro-satelites to display and record real-time video of Earth from space.
  
  Check out this video of planes landing in Beijing: https://www.mapbox.com/blog/video-of-beijing-from-space/
  
  Also, keeping in line with our visualization and mapping lecture, check out CartoDB's data driven geospatial data mapping applications: http://cartodb.com
  
  Check out this case study: https://blog.twitter.com/2013/mtvhottest-generates-166-million-tweets-with-a-single-hashtag and http://cartodb.github.io/tweets_mtvhottest/
  
  There is a free version available from CartoDB that may be of use to some of you. I will be playing with it over the weekend and encourage others to as well.
