Google Maps has added space to its interactive maps and is truly a magnificent thing to see.
In this way it is possible to explore in 3D almost all the planets of the solar system, looking at them on the PC screen as they really are, as if they were framed by the most powerful NASA telescope or as astronauts and enthusiasts do,
And it is thanks to the collaboration of NASA and the European Space Agency that Google has been able to mount in its most famous program the most detailed images of planetary maps of the planets such as Venus and Pluto and also of the most important satellites such as Europe, Ganymede, Rhea and Mima.
Space exploration in Google Maps is possible thanks to photos taken by the Cassini-Huygens spaceship, sent to space with the aim of getting to study Saturn and its moons.
Planets, moons and satellites are therefore visible on the computer in the same way in which you can see the world in 3D with Google Earth, with the possibility of zooming and turning the planet as if it were a sphere that we have in hand.
The page to explore the planets is on the site //www.google.com/maps/space/ where you can choose which planet to explore among the various available: Venus, Mercury, Moon, Mars, Pluto, then also Ceres, Io, Titano, Iapetus and other moons in the solar system.
Note, then, that by clicking on the International Space Station, it is possible to look at the Earth as if we were inside the spacecraft, as astronauts see it from Space, through the porthole and it is also possible to enter inside to see the interiors and discover the technology that is inside the ISS.
Finally, I remember that it is always possible to explore Mars and the Moon on Google Maps in order to discover the whole history of the moon landing and to study the characteristics of nature on Mars.
