Google has taken its Street View cameras into the CERN laboratory, and brought web users with it. Google Street View will now give you passage into CERN and around its Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland.
This has geek appeal for tourists, and Google believes that scientists working with the kit will appreciate the closer look.
"We're delighted that CERN opened its doors to Google Maps Street View allowing anyone, anywhere in the world to take a peek into its laboratories, control centers and its myriad underground tunnels housing cutting-edge experiments," said Google in a blog post. "Street View also lets scientists working on the experiments, who may be on the other side of the world, explore the equipment they're using."
It's an interesting place to be sure, and the Google mapping tool gives a good view of the insides of the particle smashing lab.
On display are the Large Hadron Collider and Alice, the a heavy-ion detector on the Large Hadron Collider ring, among other equipment. Read More on search engine watch
