Bit dis-appointed its not more detailed. In the past we've used www.getmapping.com and bought a photo of our street. Much more detailed.

It is quite nice that today, on the 36th anniversary of mankinds greatest achievement there is a beautiful full moon in clear skies 
when it rose above the horizon half an hour or so ago it looked amazing with the naked eye and even better with magnification. It's not quite so good now but still a lovely sight to behold, so if you can go and have a look
It's also quite sad on reflection that 36 years ago there were for a few years regular manned rockets sent to the moon, all returning safely (ok so 13 was a narrow escape) while today they're struggling to even send the shuttle to low earth orbit and can't be sure that it will retutn safely

The moon tonight - oversharpened to bring out the detail. I've never managed to take a decent shot of the moon, but seeing as it's been 36 years since the first moon landing I thought I ought to take a pic
