Google Moon
In honor of the first manned Moon landing, which took place on July 20, 1969, Google Moon is now open and showing NASA imagery. Google Moon uses the Google Maps interface to help you take a close up and personal tour of the moon.
Here's the Google Moon FAQ containing an unusual announcement of Google's future plans: "We usually don’t announce future products in advance, but in this case, yes, we can confirm that on July 20th, 2069, in honor of the 100th anniversary of mankind’s first manned lunar landing, Google will fully integrate Google Local search capabilities into Google Moon, which will allow our users to quickly find lunar business addresses, numbers and hours of operation, among other valuable forms of Moon-oriented local information."
Zoom in too close, and what do you think you see? (Closer, that is, than the resolution provided by the NASA maps which are the underlying data for NASA Moon). Proof that the moon *is* really made of cheese!
