It has an 15-lens camera that can shoot 46MP images. An Android smartphone plugged into the backpack control the Trekker. It will be used to map out castles, ruins, hiking trails where vehicles can’t go. Google announced this means Street View will come to the Grand Canyon.

Well, not the planet but the famous painting “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli. You can see the painting at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. Or on Street View.
