hi!
sorry i crosspost from Current Events but felt it would be on the right place here after vanish out from news.

****************
April 30, 2008: Today, NASA-funded researchers released to the general public a new "4D" live model of Earth's ionosphere. Without leaving home, anyone can fly through the layer of ionized gas that encircles Earth at the edge of space itself. All that's required is a connection to the Internet.

"This is an exciting development," says solar physicist Lika Guhathakurta of NASA headquarters in Washington, DC. "The ionosphere is important to pilots, ham radio operators, earth scientists and even soldiers. Using this new 4D tool, they can monitor and study the ionosphere as if they're actually inside it."

A screen-shot of the 4D ionosphere. Click here for 19 MB video demo (mp4).
You can download and launch your own 4D ionosphere by following these simple instructions.

Hello syzygy,

Really cool model you referenced,

It would be fantastic to see more community members creating and posting such quality work.
