At maximum zoom, a list of celestial bodies will pop up on the left. After that, you hop onto the right side to click the tiny ‘enable globe view’ button and zoom out until you reach the planetary view of Earth in space. The first step to activate the feature is to switch to ‘satellite view’ on Google Maps by clicking the button at the lower-left corner of the screen. In case you have forgotten about the neat little space exploration feature of Google Maps, it was first introduced in 2017.
The animation shows up when you switch from Earth to other planetary bodies on Google Maps, as an eagle-eyed Redditor discovered. With the last film in the Skywalker saga ending decades of storytelling, Google Maps has decided to do something special for Star Wars fans. Recognizing how traveling through the hyperspace is one of Star Wars’ most memorable visual effects, Google Maps quietly added the warp speed zooming motion to its planetary exploration feature sometime last week.
