Google Moon

This is probably old news now, but it is worth a visit if it is still news to you. The clever folk at Google have put up a site with a zoomable and pannable map/image of the moon's surface (functioning just like the satellite images of the earth's surface they now supply on their maps site), starting out focussed on the region on the moon where various moon landings took place. Note that July 20th is the annivesary of the first moon manned (as opposed to some other life-form) landing on the moon, which took place in 1969. Check it out here. ( I found this first on Dynamics of Cats.) Be sure to note especially the amazing and indeed surprising detail that you can see if you zoom all the way in. -cvj
