Explore the Moon with Google Earth

Explore the Moon with Google Earth – While man may have set foot on the Moon 40 years ago, you can do a little lunar exploration of your own today.  While it may not be a surprise to many, web explorers can use Google Earth to get a closer look at the moon’s surface, the lunar landing spots and the terrestial characteristics of our closest celestial body.  If you want a quick glance at the moon in moderate detail, use Google Maps moon service.  If you want all the dirty lunar details, download Google Earth 5.0 and its included lunar maps.  Happy 40th, man on the moon.  May today’s technology yield a new crop of moon explorers for humanity’s future.
