They do have products that provide terrestrial mapping, and Google does also offer maps of <a href="http://www.google.com/mars/" rel="nofollow">Mars</a> and the <a href="http://www.google.com/moon/" rel="nofollow">moon</a>. However, these products only provide surface maps. Celestia does much more than just provide surface images. Celestia truly is a space simulator. You can see the orbits of planets, moons, and comets. You can accelerate time and watch them move in tandem. You can see where they were located 10,000 years ago or see where they will be in another 10,000 years. You can travel to systems and galaxies thousands of light years away. To my knowledge, neither have any product offerings like Celestia.

Or do they have it in the pipeline. Isn’t Microsoft or Google already doing this sort of thing? Or do they have it in the pipeline.
