Explore Mars with Google Earth 5.0 - Video Tour

What a way to spend a lazy Sunday. Google has taken its Earth idea and added images from NASA of Mars, allowing everyone to explore the red planet using Google Earth 5.0.  Students are going to love the narrated tours by Mars experts, and the ability to view 3D rover models and search for famous landmarks on Mars. Watch the demo video below.

With Mars in Google Earth, you can:

• Be the first human being to view images downloaded by NASA just hours ago, in the Live from Mars layer.

• Take an interactive tour of Mars, narrated by Public Radio's Ira Flatow or Bill Nye the Science Guy.

• View 3D rover models and follow their tracks to see high-resolution 360-degree panoramas.

• Search for famous Martian landmarks, such as the Face on Mars or Olympus Mons.
