It's officially called Google Earth 5.0, but the new oceanographic additions to Google Earth are certainly remarkable enough to merit the Google Ocean moniker. That said, Google Ocean doesn't really begin to cover the extent of the recent Google Earth additions. In addition to a bathymetric map of the ocean floor, there's historical imagery (watch a place develop over time), a touring option (the ability to create your own "tour" of an area), and views of friggin' MARS, which is patchier than Earth but still pretty rad. Is there anything Google can't do? Powerful as it is, the internet giant had a lot of help in this endeavor. Parts of Google Ocean came from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's Dive and Discover feature, which allows you to, well, dive into the ocean and discover amazing things down there. Woods Hole contributed images and journal entries from various deep sea trips to Google Earth's expansion into "charted" waters.
