- A great graphical view of the Earth with the Sun line displayed. Great for checking the "Grey" line. This is a beautiful display and there is even some user configuration that make it more useful. Be sure to take a look. That however is only part of this site. Whatever you do, look around at the rest of the site too. John Walker has put together one of the most interesting sites on the web and it is a real experience. Make sure you stop at the Titanium Cranium pages. John is a little acerbic and it may convince you to never write another email to a web site author again.
