Just in time for the 2nd anniversary of the Curiosity rover touching down on Martian soil, Google has tucked 3D, explorable versions of Mars and the Moon right into Maps.

Here’s how to get there:

• First, head over to Google Maps
• Down in the bottom left, you should see an icon that lets you put the map in “Google Earth” mode. Click that.
• Wait for the once-flat map to load in 3D. Then start zooming out. Zoom out as far as you can.
• Once you’re zoomed all the way out, just wait a second. Options for “Moon” and “Mars” should appear at the bottom of your screen, as pictured above.
• (If nothing shows up, you might have the “Explore” tab closed. Click the pair of upward arrows in the bottom right to expand the Explore drawer).

I am a little disappointed with the lack of Street View on Mars. One would think that’d’ve been doable at least where Curiosity has been.
