So I'd say with Three.js, Google's code for the Globe it's in the end just a couple of Javascript lines for the page and the customization of the globe. I'd say 98% is open source from a technical perspective.
I always close the tab before closing the lid.
Also I would really like to see the "address network", e.g. lines between the dots.
Or is it that I used the most trivial particle rendering ? :)
It happened to me one or two times that I thought the same because the dark color of the sea looks somehow more solid than the continents.
If it's really a rendering bug could you share a screenshot ?
