We’re not sure whether to laugh or tremble in fear from this Google Earth capture. This shot was taken as Buzz Mill, a popular coffee shop in Austin, Texas.

Hashima, Japan Is an Abandoned Island
Approximately nine miles from Nagasaki, Japan lies Hashima Island. Also known as Gunkanjima, the island was established in 1887 and operated during the industrialization of Japan. At one point, the island had a population of 5,259, but after the coal mine was closed, life on the island dwindled.
Today, the island is completely uninhabited and most of the buildings have collapsed. Take a virtual tour of the island on Google Earth and you can catch glimpses of a once-bustling island many called home.

Those peculiar structures you see are part of the Mauna Kea Observatories. These are used for research across the electromagnetic spectrum.
