NASA's WorldWind Project
NASA has released an excellent new open-source project called WorldWind which allows the user to zoom from satellite altitude into any place on Earth, using high-resolution LandSat imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation data to create a full 3-D representation. Now you can virtually visit anywhere on Earth without leaving your chair. Very cool stuff. (Click the image to view a high-res LandSat image of Baghdad, Iraq.)
