description: I explored Google Moon and discovered that while it appears rectangular at low magnification, the highest zoom level reveals the lunar surface is actually made of Swiss cheese, a clever Easter egg included by Google.

[Google Moon](http://moon.google.com/). At the highest magnification, the moon is made of cheese. At the lowest, the moon is rectangular. But it apparantly isn't a prank.

  Interesting - Just drag the zoom to max and leave it there. The picture colour changes. Wonder why...

  The idea is to show that the moon is made of cheese... Kinda easter egg thingy.
