Explore Mars: Google Mars
Edited on Sun Sep-06-09 11:24 PM by parasearchers
Google made it easier to take a stroll on Mars with it's "Google Mars". Similar to Google Maps, Google Mars allows users to scan the surface of Mars, keep track or orbiters, and search for anomalous features. This new Mars Scanning Technology makes the possibility of finding life on Mars much greater.

The map views currently offer three views. Elevation, visible, and Infrared. The elevation and infrared views are very impressive and should prove to be a huge asset when searching for anomalies. The elevation feature works with colors that represent different altitudes of the surface. Using the elevation feature, the viewer gets a better view of structural and dimension displaying features. This should make it much easier and more accurate when searching for artificial or intelligent designed features. The infrared view will display a black and white imagery, but the outline of ridges and dividing marks becomes apparent. This feature will also prove useful when examining surface features.

Google Mars is equipped with a search box and will provide a direct link to any location with the click of the mouse. As more researchers start trolling around the surface of Mars,

Here's a link to Google Mars. http://www.google.com/mars/
