The New Google Moon
Google Moon went live back in July 2005 with relatively low resolution images of our closest neighbor. In conjunction with today's news about Google backing private moon landings through the Google Lunar X PRIZE, a new version of Google Moon has been released.
Resolution is higher, the company says. There's also short stories about things like moon landings integrated into the map (example), and you can get some 360 degree "Street View" style views in some places (example), as well as some charts. The FAQ page has more information.
Google says much of the information now on Google Moon has come through its partnership with NASA.
