An antipodal view of the earth. Basically a map of opposing points on the earths surface. Digging through the earths core from Ireland would have you up pop up south of NZ etc.

Fact of the day - "Approximately 15%[citation needed] of land territory is antipodal to other land, representing approximately 4.4% of the Earth's surface. "

''This picture you see here is a real image, not computer generated, of a black hole devouring a start roughly the size of our sun. This is something extremely rare to see and was found by a group of researchers trying to prove that when this event occurs, a flare of plasma gets shot off. This flare of plasma is what you see looking like an explosion. This is the first time we've seen the whole incident of a star being devoured. We were lucky enough for this to take place in a galaxy only 300 million light years away. Fun facts about light years, one light year is about 5.88 trillion milesso this is 1764000000ish miles away and happened about 300 million years ago.''0 -

Picture is from a simulation I'm afraid. Cool all the same.
