From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you look close enough, there's plenty of bizarre moments captured on Google Maps.
Some of the strangest images, however, appear when you zoom in a little further and check out some of the 'Photo Spheres' - detailed 360-degree images, uploaded by users from around the world.
Digital artist Kyle F. Williams (also known as Keelayjams) has collected some of these strange panoramas after scouring foreign beaches, and they're a little unsettling.
They're filled with disembodied limbs, strange distended abdomens, and even iPhones embedded in bums.
To discover your own, just visit any well-known global landmark on Google Maps, drag the Street View man over the map, and look out for the blue circles.
Be sure to prepare yourself first, though - things can get weird.
