The Google Earth Blog has an article with this new animated layer for Google Earth from NASA. Along with this layer, the GE Blog also points out a couple of other layers that NASA has recently released. Here is a summary excerpt of this layer from the blog : "The ionosphere is used to bounce radio signals over the horizon for long distance communication. But, when storms occur on the sun's surface they can mess up parts of the ionosphere and disrupt ionosphere-based communications."

The VerySpatial blog points us to an article and flash demonstration site showing things in our daily lives discovered or advanced by NASA. It's worth a look to see how space technology trickles down into our everyday life. From their summary : "NASA has posted a pretty cool new site to help people understand how they have impacted everyone’s life in so many ways. It’s called NASA @ Home and City. They’re want to remind everyone that they’re not just about “space”. While a lot of their technologies really aren’t spatial (cosmetics, for example), there is an impressive display of geographic related materials they have impacted. Stuff from environmental cleanup and monitoring to simply travel technologies."
Please visit the VerySpatial blog for more information and a link to the NASA demonstration.
