Google Moon - Lunar Landing Sites
Google Moon - Lunar Landing Sites
"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."
Now that IS COOL. Now if only I could visually explore the entire moon. (Damn, users are just NEVER satisified! :)
Google has to be an interesting place to work at...
LOL. Make sure you zoom all the way in. I guess the cartoons I watched as a kid really are right!

Funny. Like you, I learned the geological truth about the lunar surface from Google Moon this morning. I showed it to a few of the guys downstairs. John echoed what you wrote: the cartoons were right! I showed it to Duffy and we started talking about Google and how cool the Google Labs and APIs are. Have you read about the Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering (G.C.H.E.E.S.E.)?
Just yesterday, I was reading the Google Maps API Documentation. It's all JavaScript, DHTML, XML, IFrames--very open and standards-based. It's obvious from the Google-Maps-API discussion group that people are scrambling to make cool apps using the API.
