Exactly 40 years after Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon, Google Earth launched the 5.0 version of their software containing an interactive 3-D atlas of the Moon.

The clickable map contains a wealth of short stories, photography and video about the different Apollo missions, and in-depth information about the Moon’s terrain.

Also included are captivating HDTV videos from Kaguya, the Japanese spacecraft that recently orbited the Moon for 20 months.

You can download the software here. (The map is located in the planet icon within the top menu bar.)
