Now you can google Mars


Space buffs can now visit Mars and feel what it must be like to explore the towering mountains, layered canyon walls and meandering channels of the Red Planet without having to worry about its freezing temperatures and tenuous atmosphere.

With the help of Google Mars (mars.google.com) it is possible to soar over the grandest canyon in the solar system, Valles Marineris, visit the giant volcano Olympus Mons, which is three times taller than Everest, or inspect the landing sites for the two Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity.
