With the latest NASA researches exploring Mars and looking for signs of life, Google have added a very original map bringing you the red planet three different flavors : Google Mars. The first one show an elevation map shows color-coded peaks and valleys, the second a visible-imagery map shows what your eyes would actually see, and the last one an infrared-imagery map shows the detail your eyes would miss.
We here on Earth have long held a fascination with the planet Mars. From Percival Lowell's sketches of its surface, to the countless books and movies that revolve around it, we've spent millenia studying and day-dreaming about our nearest neighbor in the solar system.
In that tradition, NASA researchers Noel Gorelick and Michael Weiss-Malik from Arizona State University worked with us to combine Google Maps technology with some of the most detailed scientific maps of Mars ever made.
