Google adds Street View of the International Space Station

Google Street View hasn’t been limited to maps for quite a while. You can even explore the Great Barrier Reef using Street View. The app is pushing exploration beyond just your own neighborhood.

The next step is a big one, because for the first time, Street View has left the Earth. You can now explore the International Space Station thanks to an astronaut and flight engineer named Thomas Pesquet taking photos during his six-month stint on the station.

If you’re interested in checking it out, hit the source link. Google’s blog entry describes the process of getting the photos as well as Thomas’ time on the station. There is also some behind the scenes content available. It’s definitely a fascinating look into what it’s like floating 250 miles above Earth.
