No need to bother going into space.
Now, you can fly out of Earth just by using internet. With Google Maps , users
can now explore the various planets in the Solar System in a way that is more
fun and fun.
Not only Earth, you can also walk to all
the planets scattered in the Solar System, from Mars, Mercury, Venus, to the
farthest planet, Pluto. In fact, dwarf planets such as Ceres can be traced
directly on Google Maps.
In addition, Google Maps also presents
an informative visual display of planetary satellites, starting from the Moon,
as well as other Planet moons like Io, Europa, Ganymede, Mimas, Enceladus,
Dione, Rhea, Titan and Iapetus.
"Now, you can visit those places
- along with lots of other planets and moons - on Google Maps via your
computer.For more fun, try zooming out of Earth until you're in space,"
Google wrote,
To be able to test the Google Maps
extraterrestrial version, you have to access it via browser in Google Chrome
for computer. So, this feature can not be used on the application version. You
can go to the following link to go directly to Google Maps space.
Once inside, zoom out the view of the
Solar System to the fullest. Later, the planet will automatically appear on the
left. Choose the planet you want to search for.
The view of the planet in Google Maps
is the result of Google's cooperation with astronomer named Björn Jónsson. He
also invited imaging instruments belonging to the US space agency, NASA, and
the European Space Agency, ESA to collect map data for Europa, Ganymede, Rhea,
and Mimas.
Not only that, the visual data
Enceladus and Dione is also the catch of NASA spacecraft for exploration of
planet Saturn, Cassini. Known, the plane has sent about half a million images
to Earth, where the data is processed directly by NASA scientists.
