MOON VRML

 

3d model of the lunar surface

Warning


VRML viewers are relatively new technology. Please understand that there is the possibility that you may experience some problems. We have done everything possible to eliminate or minimize the problems. The models have no sound with them, and are a visual fly over of a section of the moon that the user controls. This requires a plug-in to work properly. Please install the plug-in before tring to view the VRML. Of all the Plug-ins available, "Cosmo" seems to have one of the only viewers for ALL platforms. Click on this link to get the Cosmo Player.
