Great! It is interesting, why Google or anybody else have not made a map of Moon just like Googlemap of Earth. Are there some technical problems?

- stetrain 8y agohttps://www.google.com/moon/ https://www.google.com/moon/
- raphaelj 8y agoThey did: https://www.google.com/moon/ https://www.google.com/moon/ Last time I used it, Google Earth provided a 3D view of the Moon and of Mars.
- jessriedel 8y agoIt's too bad they haven't updated this to act like the modern version of Google Maps. It's like going back in time to the old HTML version.

- mrep 8y agoThat's because you aren't using the maps version: https://www.google.com/maps/space/moon/ https://www.google.com/maps/space/moon/
- jessriedel 8y agoOh thank goodness.
- Ajedi32 8y agoThe UI in that link looks really old. If you want the more modern, 3D view, I'd recommend going to maps.google.com, switching to satellite view, and zooming out.

- dylan604 8y agoTangentially, I recently was using Google Earth, and zoomed all the way out so that the background stars, Milky Way, etc could be seen. Anyone know how accurate that scaling is of the background relative to Earth is? What caught my eye was the scale of Orion.
