Google Mars - Inclusion in Google Earth 5

Inclusion in Google Earth 5

Google Earth version 5, released February 2, 2009, included a separate globe of the planet Mars that could be viewed. The images there are of a much higher resolution than those on the browser version, and include 3D renderings of the Martian terrain. There are also some extremely high resolution images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera that are of a similar resolution to those of the cities on Earth. Finally, there are many high resolution panoramic images from various Mars landers such as the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosity that can be viewed in a similar way to Google Street View.

Famous quotes containing the words inclusion and/or earth:

    Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)

    On the earth the broken arcs; in the heaven a perfect round.
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
