If you’re in the market for buying an interesting map and have £60,000 at your disposal, you should consider purchasing Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkein’s original conception for Middle Earth as shown by the Independent.

Maps Mania shared the “OMG Space” map, that accurately scales the sizes and distances between the sun and planets in our solar system based on basic html scrolling. I would recommend using the hyperlinks, otherwise you’ll be scrolling all day!
