A new Google Maps: Google Moon!



Not only can you explore planet earth with Google Maps and Google Earth, With the help of NASA imagery Google is now giving you the chance to explore the surface of the moon using the same slick interface!

This from the Google Moon site:

In honor of the first manned Moon landing, which took place on July 20, 1969, we've added some NASA imagery to the Google Maps interface to help you pay your own visit to our celestial neighbor. Happy lunar surfing. More about Google Moon.

(**See what happens when you zoom all the way in! :) **)

The eagle has landed! :)
