8 useful Google services you should know about

1. Google Mars, Moon and Sky

Everyone knows that Google has photographed our entire planet from different angles and created a 3D model of the Earth based on these images. But the company carried out no less fruitful work on the study of Mars, the Moon and the starry sky. Google has partnered with NASA to collect a wealth of data on these objects and create Google Mars, Moon and Sky web maps. In addition, you can admire 3D models of Mars, the Moon and the starry sky in the Google Earth program.

2. ZygoteBody (Google Body)

The ZygoteBody project is a stunning visualization of the structure of the human body, which will be an invaluable help to both medical students and just all curious people.

With the help of this service, we can travel through the human body, starting from the external structure and moving deeper and deeper, to the smallest capillaries of the circulatory system and nerve endings.

The service is now owned by the Zygote Media Group, but Google initially worked on it. The 3D model of the human body is still free to view. To access additional features such as annotation, developers offer a paid subscription. Note that at the time of this writing, additional functions do not work.
