Google in Space

Google has taken its mapping to another level on another planet: Mars. Google launched the new service in cooperation with NASA and Arizona State University. There are three ways to look at Mars on www.google.com/mars, including "an elevation map shows colour-coded peaks and valleys, a visible-imagery map shows what your eyes would actually see, and an infrared-imagery map shows the detail your eyes would miss," Chikai Ohazama of the Google Earth team said.
