The joys of StumbleUpon is that it can somehow unearth little diamonds.
So if you want to identify what that little fuzzy glow is just after
sunset to the west is - here's a handy tool.

That page doesn't work at all for me (Safari/Mac OS X). I can only see
the map at the largest scale; attempting to zoom in or use the Find
function just turns the page solid black (except for the navigation menu
& the controls, most of which don't react in any way to being clicked).
