Google Mars

www.google.com/mars

If you thought Google Earth was an impressive demonstration of what the internet can do, then Google Mars will take your breath away. With it you gain a birds-eye view of the red planet from your web browser, a truly amazing feat. The images come from the Mars Global Survey and Mars Odyssey spacecraft, both in orbit around our red-tinted neighbour. An infrared imaging feature allows users to peer through the Martian dust clouds, while a colour-coded elevation map and landmark tracker adds even more to the experience.
