I see that Google have now added an interactive map of Mars
http://www.google.com/mars/

So now there's the Earth, Mars and Moon (http://moon.google.com/)

Does anyone fancy collaborating on producing the equivalent for other
bodies? We might be able to beat Google to Mercury or Europa or
something.


Might it be possible to do something on Eros from the NEAR mission?

using this as the start point

It looks like it would be an awful lot of work to identify the locations
an orientations of those images.

Are you sure that the images are public domain? I can't see any
indication of that.
