Question
Hi Ed,

I once (some years ago) found a website where I could watch the world real-time in different angles. It was updated every 3 minutes or so. I could see the clouds, night-time part of the globe with lights of cities and so on, just by clicking the globe to turn it around. I could also see the moon the same way.
I have no idea anymore where to access that site. All I remember is that there were the words "tellus" and either "org" or "net" on the web address. I really loved this site and would be ever thankful if you found it out for me.
More clues: I'm pretty sure it wasn't part of NASA's website, or anything like that.

Thank you so much!
Greetings from Finland,

Answer
Sanna,
Is this the site you're thinking about?

You might need to fool around a little, and try different aspects of the website.  Look at some of the stuff near the bottom of the page.

Also, I am curious about something.  If you grew up in finland, can you understand Estonian?  I have heard that their language is similar to Finnish.  Is this true?

Keep Looking Up,
--Ed
