Now on Google Earth: Mars
Print
Just this week Google and NASA announced the release of Google Earth’s new “Mars mode,” a feature that will allow users of the planet-browsing program to check out high-resolution shots of the red planet’s exterior.
Google Earth’s new feature “enables users to fly virtually through enormous canyons and scale huge mountains on Mars that are much larger than any found on Earth. Users also can explore the Red Planet through the eyes of the Mars rovers and other Mars missions, providing a unique perspective of the entire planet,” according to the press release distributed by NASA.
This will also give the scientific community an easy way to share information about Mars, and give every user the opportunity to understand its basic science.

I won't be suprised if there are already dozens of Google Maps vehicles roaming around it and running over some green martian baby deers.

Will they call it Google Mars then? Google Earth: Mars doesn't make a whole lot of sense :P
