Does anyone know if that last part with the spinning globe was created in D3.js? I'm constantly gobsmacked with what can be done with that library.

Mike Bostock (the author of D3.js) is a NYT employee. His name is listed in the final credits for this piece, and a lot of other NYT content. I assume he is often called in to sprinkle some D3 magic onto a lot of their interactive articles.

That globe was a great way to visualize why the sun never sets in the summer above the arctic circle. It would be a great teaching resource especially with some way to adjust the dates.
