A new 360 video uses images from Chang’e 3, the Chinese lunar rover that began to explore the moon in 2013. Meanwhile, closer to Earth, the lunar terrain still has the ability to enthrall. The red planet’s scant atmosphere and lower gravity poses intriguing questions for researchers, according to a recent press release from NASA. They want to understand the rapid movement of the dunes, which migrate by as much as one yard per Earth year. Curiosity got a good look as it slowly heads up Mount Sharp, which it’s been exploring since 2014. Viewers can click and drag the image to virtually explore Namib Dune, one of a series of sand dunes currently being climbed by Curiosity in search of more information on extraterrestrial dunes. NASA recently released a 360-degree interactive video of the surface of Mars captured by the Curiosity rover. But that doesn’t mean you can’t experience them, thanks to two new 360-degree views of Mars and the moon. Do you long to go to space? With space tourism stalled and NASA’s Mars mission years away, you probably won’t be able to get up close and personal with Earth’s neighbors any time soon.
