Early Version
The first version of Google Moon only included low-resolution satellite imagery of the entire Moon, and when zoomed in too far, a Swiss Cheese pattern would appear. The Swiss cheese pattern was used for the closest zoom levels before high-resolution images became available.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or version:
“The Americans never use the word peasant, because they have no idea of the class which that term denotes; the ignorance of more remote ages, the simplicity of rural life, and the rusticity of the villager have not been preserved among them; and they are alike unacquainted with the virtues, the vices, the coarse habits, and the simple graces of an early stage of civilization.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
