Get Live Images of Mars - From Google?!


Google has updated it's Google Mars service to show more details of present day Mars. Users can access the latest images from the Themis camera on the Mars Odyssey. Users will also be able to do virtual fly-bys.

You can start your experience by going to google.com/mars/ and maneuvering from there. Also if you use Google Earth you can view the terain in 3D. Initial maps available are a color coded elevation map, Visible light map and infrared.

Users can select different Martian regions, like mountains, canyons or craters or you can explore the areas where man made space craft have landed.
