(PRWEB) May 14, 2007 -- New Virtual Reality Panoramas released by Moonpans.com, gives the viewer an an Astronauts' Eye View Of The Lunar Surface. Made from photographs taken by the Apollo Astronauts over 30 years ago, and assembled into 360 degree Virtual Reality movies, now anyone can experience what it was like to stand on the surface of the moon.
When http://moonpans.com first released 7 of these Virtual Reality panoramas last year, they did not imagine the response would be so big. So since then, a further 7 movies have also been created bring the total to 14 movies. These cover every Apollo lunar landing, from Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's historic Apollo 11 mission, to the amazing scenery of Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt's Apollo 17 mission.
The VR movies were made by Moonpans.com from their exclusive print resolution panoramic images which were assembled seamlessly from images captured by the Apollo Astronauts during each of the landing missions.
Once you have loaded a movie, all you need to do is click your mouse on it, and drag your mouse around whilst keeping the button pressed. You will then be able to look around the various Apollo moonscapes as if you were there yourself.
