I wonder which planet will be next to have a map?

Is there any explanation for the redness of the ground? There is an abrupt change in terrain right here: Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth

I actually found that weird area when I was looking for an airplane graveyard that I saw while driving back to Michigan from Seattle in 1997. If you look to the southwest of the area, there’s an airfield. To the west of the airfield is a bunch of airplanes in the grass. Here is a ground shot

I grew up with National Geographic magazine and sci-fi; I love the Earth, and I live Mars as well. It’d be great to live in Wyoming.

JWK, I totally agree. Here at GS we’re all extremely exited about the possibility of satellite maps for the whole of the world - or even the whole of America would do at the moment!

We hadn’t even thought of other planets though!

I wonder how difficult it would be for Google to make a “Google Maps Satellite” for other planets we have high-resolution imagery for.

I know we have massive, detailed satellite maps of Mars and the Moon, and rader topography for Venus for most areas.

Even if it was something horribly hackish (copy the Maps Satellite code into a different folder, and instead of Earth maps, maps from the other planets.)

I’d also like to see Google’s coverage expanded to cover the entire planet. They have the satellite up there — imagine how much interesting Google sightseeing we could do in, say, Iraq, or somewhere else worthwhile.

Talk about hitting close to home. Thats is the flank of Sheep Mountain just north of the towns of Greybull and Basin, Wyoming, where I grew up.

Sheep Mountain (and most of the surrounding area) is a treasure trove for fossils. We used to take field trips there every year, and always find something interesting. To the east of Greybull there have been a number of important finds, including dinosaur tracks and several new species.

If you zoom in, you’ll see them really clearly. The circles are fields.
