Google has joined hands with NASA to build Google Maps Mars in commemoration of Percival Lowell’s birthday, a wealthy amateur astronomer who was convinced that there were canals on Mars, and was the founder of Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona.
“Explore the red planet in three different ways: an elevation map shows color-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,” said Google Earth developer Chikai Ohazama. “We hope you enjoy your trip to Mars.”
It looks pretty amazing with the eye candy to the naked eye.
