Google maps the Moon

http://moon.google.com/

Spoiler: zoom all the way in

I like the most zoomed-in view.

Other Thread on this subject.

Its boaring to see a surface which has no variations, nothing, no water, no mountains, just some ugly scars..and those vague landing marks...just kills the whole romanticism of the moon.

I'm gonna take a wild guess in the dark and say you didn't bother to look at the link...

I don't get it. Every time Google introduce some other useless thing everybody goes all gooey eyed, "Ooh! Nice! Shiny!"

Pfft.

I'm guessing you didn't bother to even look at it (either). It's a bloody joke, not some serious new gadget from Google which people are ooo'ing over.

Just saw this elsewhere...funny stuff!

If you want something to knock your socks off, try the Sloan Digital Sky Survey's Skyserver at

Zoomable maps of almost a quarter of the night sky from the largest ever astronomical survey. For technical folk out there that like to play with databases, it allows full SQL access to the raw data too.

German mirror will be online asap... watch this space.

I own property on the moon. Can't find my property though, bummer. These Google maps are so cool though.
