APOLLO 11 - GOOGLE MOON TAKES YOUR COMPUTER OFF-PLANET

So far as Planet Earth is concerned, Google is, as the marketing suits say, completely ubiquitous. And now Google Moon takes you into space, all the way to the surface of the Moon, with an endlessly fascinating look at where we and our various robotic machines have explored.

Google Moon’s zoom, pan and scan features hit Starcruzer’s sweet spot - using a baseline of stitched panoramic images, you can inspect all sorts of places, including the Apollo 11 and other landing sites. There are info panels, voice-overs, videos - the list of goodies is a long one, and maybe with updates to come, virtually endless.

If you don’t already have Google Earth (of which Moon is a part) then you can download the program for free.
