It would seem, what else interesting and unusual can Google Maps provide? And here you are: now with its help we can "visit" the various planets of the solar system! A unique opportunity has become available to everyone thanks to photographs and data obtained from Cassini and other spacecraft.
"An update for Google Maps has already been released and is available to all users who will now be able to visit 16 planets and their satellites," says the company's blog.
Thanks to astro artist Bjorn Jonsson, who worked on the preparation of maps and their detailing, now anyone can study the surface of different distant planets in detail.
Google Maps contains satellites and planets. In addition, they all have marks indicating the various objects located on their surface, so you can immediately read their names and short descriptions.
Specialists working on Google Maps took photographs from various spacecraft, and then processed tens of thousands of images and created a single database of celestial bodies, carefully recreating the appearance and describing their details.
