Google has a map of the moon at http://moon.google.com/. When you click on one of the Apollo mission links, a balloon pops up on its coordinates on the map.

Does anyone know how to pop up and place a balloon like that? It's a really snazzy effect.

That is pretty cool...the source is all put together so I didn't take to much time to decipher but it looks like they just got a lot of javascript in there and some well placed gif's or png's...very cool though...kudo's to them for think outside of the box.
 
The moon is really made of cheese...

When you go to the link posted above, zoom in to the maximum zoom and you will see that the moon really is made of cheese. I'd say cheddar or american. Funny stuff...
 
You want to check out google maps - maps.google.com. Fantastic, better than any other online mapping program I've seen plus finds businesses and goves directions too!
