"Google Earth Engine brings together the world's satellite imagery - trillions of scientific measurements dating back almost 40 years - and makes it available online with tools for scientists, independent researchers, and nations to mine this massive warehouse of data to detect changes, map trends and quantify differences on the Earth's surface. Applications include: detecting deforestation, classifying land cover, estimating forest biomass and carbon, and mapping the world's roadless areas."
"Check out these new features available in Google Earth 5.0:
* Tours of lunar landing sites, narrated by Apollo astronauts
* 3D models of rovers and landers
* 360-degree photo panoramas
* Rare TV footage of the Apollo missions"
