Google Moon.
Google has mapped the moon with data provided by NASA, marking the 36th anniversary of the Moon Landing. This amusing little experiment also serves the purpose of giving some publicity to the Google Copernicus Hosting Environment and Experiment in Search Engineering (or “G.C.H.E.E.S.E” for short), their planned* lunar base apparently dedicated to discovering the 
answers to such questions as “Can the World Wide Web become an interplanetary utility?”, ” What happens to PageRank in the proximity of a black hole?”, and “Does spam go on forever?”.
Incidentally, if you crank the zoom all the way up on the moon map, you get confirmation of what many of us have known all along:
*For fuck’s sake, do please remember that this is Google we’re talking about, and that only an idiot would go to the trouble of pointing out to me that maybe, just maybe they’re having a bit of a larf.

m sure everybody knows about Google Moon by now. However, did you know that if you zoom right in, you can see evidence of what the moon is really made of. Do we also need to remind you about G.C.H.E.E.S.E? [via John Heppolette ]
