Yes I think you can with javascript and other methods but all
are possibly a bit hard for you... There are a million things to
want. Forget them all. Lets get back to the globe, your first and
nicest idea: let me add more perhaps "not quite on the mark"
advice:
OK, suppose you have taken the movie of a spinning globe (a very
very easy thing to do with modern digital (mainly 'still')
cameras. You are daunted by the idea of getting at all the frames
and don't know software for it well. Don't worry. Just play the
movie on your screen and keep stopping it and screen shot what
you like, (take about twenty, evenly spaced). Turn these into
gifs (You can do this, don't worry, ask). Now run the gifs into
an animated gif builder facility. Let it be jerky and small
rather than smooth and big. It will be cuter that way. Don't try
to be too professional, people will see thru it...
I am warming to your project... but please don't keep changing
it. Be steadfast.
If you have no particular project in mind, make a site about the
conditions of things at various latitudes. This way an image map
(very simple code, easy to give you) will work well on the
spinning earth.
Time (longitude) is very boring. Space, (latitude) is more
interesting.
Why hell, I have a very good digital and will look for a globe
myself.... If I had this digital when I was coming to earth I
would have taken the real thing. There are no Sony central shops
on Mars.
