In honor of the first manned Moon landing, which took place on July 20, 1969, Google have added some NASA imagery to the Google Maps interface to help you pay your own visit to our celestial neighbor.
Because we couldn't think of a better way to commemorate the first lunar landing, which occurred on July 20, 1969, than to give our users an opportunity to surf around the lunar surface themselves.

And, G is also hiring for the G.C.H.E.E.S.E. project at the Google Copernicus Center. There's a heck of a lot to this. Be sure to click "Next" so you can find all about Googlunaplex.
isn't the full moon
It isn't even the full moon (no pun intended) - zoom all the way out and you'll see that it's just one little image, tiled horizontally.
All that fuss about nothing. Just a gimmick, it's not really useful.
Yeah
Just as I hoped to catch a googly glimpse of the dark side of the moon ;-]
