Google Moon

Google has launched one more map service: the Earth's moon. The map is not quite as comprehensive or detailed as you might want, but it does show where the manned moon landings were, and might get more detailed in the future.
For now, though, try zooming in on one of the sites, incrementally. You'll see a certain amount of increased detail each time you move the zoom slider up one more notch. But the real surprise comes when you get to the highest zoom, when you move the zoom to the very last notch at the top of the scale. Go ahead, give it a try.

Heh, good one! Thanks for the tip. I love the internet sometimes.
