MapBox Cloudless Atlas

All the big ones are creating these cloudless images of the world by stacking satellite images to remove cloud-covered pixel. In other words: the world as shown never looked like that...but that's exactly what the world looks like. Weird, especially if you consider that the world underneath the clouds so elegantly removed has changed. Still, the visuals are stunning!

Wired.com has a nice article about the MapBox cloudless base layer - try it yourself - it's pretty stunning!
