the internet - nearly zero distribution costs, nearly zero reproduction costs, color images at nearly zero cost, and now animations at nearly zero cost -

What I'd really like to see would be an animated gif of a revolving Earth as it evolved - one could take the static images here and drape them around a globe [I've seen this done, but don't know what was used to do it. ONe could then take the resulting globes, turn them, and then tie all the individual resulting animations together.]

I wonder when the earlier climates will be modeled? and the effects of the change in rotational period, and the outgsassing, and the accretion?
