They used to say "The sun never sets on the British Empire;" now it's more accurate to say the sun never sets on the internet. Or rather, it's always setting.

Take 277 west-facing webcams in 55 countries, hook it up to a single webpage and you've got eternalsunset.net. Log in at any moment and it shows you a live sunset, whether it's in Iceland or Thailand. If a sunset's not currently available, it'll tell you how many minutes are left 'til you get to see one.

Why sunsets? Obvious, silly--it's the prettiest time of the day. Take a gander and we'll bet you these URL's are still available:

www.eternalsunrise.net
www.eternalhalfpastfour.net
www.eternaltwelvethirtyseven.net

Enjoy!
