Інколи на Google Maps можна побачити чимало цікавих фотографій поверхні Землі. Цього разу в кадр фотоапарата супутника потрапила ракета (як це виглядає в оригіналі - дивіться тут). На думку деяких блогерів ракета схожа на AIM-9 Sidewinder, що використовується ВПС США: Та коли придивитись до фотографії ретельніше, ви побачите, що ніяка це не ракета, а літак з чорними крилами. Можливо McDonald Douglas MD-90. Хоча потрапляння в кадр літака - теж непоганий результат Читайте також: Google нарешті ...

Interesting Google Maps discoveries are a dime a dozen, but a missile in flight is a rare find. The shot below shows a missile in flight over Utah near the town of Circleville (direct link on Google Maps here) It’s hard to be sure from the shot, but the Missile appears to be an AIM-9 Sidewinder used by the US Air Force. It’s also a considerable distance from the Utah Test and Training Range, so ...

We took the free InstaMapper application for a spin on a Thames Clipper over the weekend to see how the iPhone 3G's GPS tracking shapes up.InstaMapper ...
