01
Drop a pin on the hilltop site where Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic radio transmission — three faint dots — on December 12, 1901.
● Signal Hill Road — St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Did you know?
Guglielmo Marconi received three faint Morse-code 'S' transmissions at Signal Hill on December 12, 1901 — the first transatlantic radio reception, conducted with a kite-borne antenna against the recommendation of nearly every contemporary physicist.

- Narrow to the continent (−35%)

  Reveals the country or specific region the answer is in.
02
Drop a pin on the European Southern Observatory's flagship complex — four 8.2-meter telescopes on a 2,635-meter desert peak under the world's clearest skies.
● Acceso Observatorio Paranal — Antofagasta, Región de Antofagasta, Chile
Did you know?
Paranal Observatory sits at 2,635 meters in the Chilean Atacama — the driest desert outside the polar regions — and houses the Very Large Telescope, an array of four 8.2-meter optical telescopes that can be combined into a single virtual instrument.
The site averages over 320 clear nights per year. The European Southern Observatory chose it for its low humidity, high elevation, lack of light pollution, and atmospheric stability. The combined VLT interferometer has produced direct images of exoplanets and the first images of a black hole's accretion disk in the optical band.

03
Drop a pin on AT&T Stadium — the retractable-roof home of the Dallas Cowboys, opened in 2009 with a 7,000-foot HD video board.
● Arlington, Texas, United States
Did you know?
AT&T Stadium's 7,000-square-foot video board hangs 110 feet above the field — the longest punt at the original commissioning hit it, and the rules now allow the punter to re-kick if the ball strikes the board.

Drop a pin on the 2.5-mile tri-oval superspeedway that hosts NASCAR's biggest race every February.
● Midway Avenue — Daytona Beach, Florida, United States
Did you know?
Daytona International Speedway's 31-degree banking is so steep that it's nearly impossible to walk up — fans without infield seats sometimes climb on hands and knees during photo opportunities.

Drop a pin on the National Baseball Hall of Fame — in a tiny village on Otsego Lake where the sport was, by legend, first played.
● Otsego Court — Village of Cooperstown, New York, United States
Did you know?
Cooperstown was chosen as the Baseball Hall of Fame's home in 1939 on the now-disputed claim that Abner Doubleday invented baseball there in 1839 — historians have since shown the game evolved from earlier bat-and-ball games over decades.
