The inauguration of President Barack Obama was prominent on the front page of newspapers from Anchorage, Alaska to the South China Sea. Ben Wikler's montage celebrates the event.
If you want to see more than the television networks' pool video of the historic day, I recommend the Boston Globe's Big Picture page, and the amazing 1,474 megapixel gigapan image captured by David Bergman. For the best viewing experience, click on his full screen link.
Wikler's page and the Big Picture will take a while to load if you don't have a broadband connection.
Update, 1-24-09 at 2:05 AM: AXcess News reports that London-based IHS Jane's has analyzed satellite imagery of the inauguration and estimates that between 1.031 million and 1.411 million people were present.
