This database shows the locations and photographs of 150 of the most unusual buildings in the world. Everything from a building shaped like a duck in New York to the great Arch of Defense in Paris. Of course this is a subjective list and I’m sure there are many buildings missing. But I think you’ll find every building on this list is unique in some way.
This collection started out as a three part story on the Village of Joy blog (part1, part2, part3). Then, Munden over at Google Earth Hacks located all the buildings and created a three part version of it for Google Earth. I have simply combined them into a single file to be easier for viewing, and made a minor tweak or two. Hopefully Munden won’t mind :)

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from some location on Earth.
This collection of global map overlays for Google Earth shows the paths of solar eclipse predictions through 2100 as compiled by Fred Espenak of NASA’s GSFC. Each eclipse track is identified by the calendar date at the instant of greatest eclipse (Universal Time). The position of greatest eclipse appears an asterisk symbol near the middle section of each path.
Also included is an overlay showing the path of the upcoming July 11, 2010 Total Solar Eclipse that will be visible in the south Pacific Ocean. This map was created by Jay Anderson.
