Google Mars

Google Mars: "

Google Mars allows you to view some of the most detailed maps of Mars created by NASA scientists. Explore the Red Planet's surface, keep track of orbiters and see the 'face' in the planet's surface.

We've included three different types of data in Google Mars:

• 
  Elevation - A shaded relief map, generated with data from the
  Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter
  (MOLA)
  on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor
  spacecraft. This map is color-coded by altitude, so you can use the
  color key at the lower left to estimate elevations.
  



• 
  
  Visible - A mosaic of images taken by the Mars Orbiter
  Camera (MOC)
  on NASA's Mars Global
  Surveyor spacecraft. MOC is like the digital camera you have
  at home. Basically, this is what your eyes would see if you
  were in orbit around Mars.
  



• 
  Infrared - A mosaic of infrared images
  taken by the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on NASA's
  Mars Odyssey
  spacecraft. Warmer areas appear brighter, and
  colder areas are darker. Clouds and dust in the atmosphere
  are transparent in the infrared, making this the sharpest
  global map of Mars that's ever been made.
