"Google is proud to announce the release of Moon in Google Earth, bringing you one step closer to understanding the experience of standing on the moon," wrote Weiss-Malik. "It brings the Apollo stories out of the history books, recreating them in an immersive and interactive 3D environment."

Google worked with NASA's Ames Research Center, as well as with JAXA, Japan's space agency, to develop much of the feature's content.
