Summary

Google Maps has expanded its features to include underwater panoramic images, offering users the opportunity to explore oceanic wonders like sea turtles and ancient coral without leaving their homes. This initiative highlights the significant portion of the Earth covered by water. Meanwhile, misconceptions about the vampire squid have been clarified: despite its ominous name, it feeds on ocean detritus rather than blood. In space-related news, NASA considered moving the International Space Station to avoid potential collisions with space debris by utilizing the engines of a docked cargo ship. These diverse tidbits were shared as part of a lighthearted "Fridaygram" post, contrasting with the usual developer-focused content, and coinciding with Google's 14th anniversary.
