Zoom me, baby!

Universe is awesome and I found (was given actually) two links that are especially interesting if you wanna take a close look of universe and the Moon. You can zoom in a lot.
With all the craters Moon is simply amazing when magnified (1st link). So is the universe. On second link you can zoom in the entire visible universe. You can observe most of the objects from NGC and IC sky catalogue and all 110 Messier objects.

    Awesome websites. Also I was wondering what all those lines and tracks running around the surface of the moon were.

    That is actually a great question. See this article:
