On July 20th, Google intends to celebrate the 40th anniversary of landing on the Moon. During the press conference a new feature in Google Earth is to be presented. There are rumors that it is going to be a three-dimensional map of our natural satellite. Images are supposed to come from recently launched Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. So far, the number of photos available in Google's Moon has not been big. To the anniversary celebration, Google's has invited Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man on the Moon and Andrew Chaikin – the author of the book "A Man on the Moon".
