"This is the most complete, consistent global digital elevation data yet made available to the world," said Woody Turner, Aster program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "This unique global set of data will serve users and researchers from a wide array of disciplines that need elevation and terrain information."

Jolly good!

I used to have to pay a lot of money for DEM maps.

What different applications could one use this for? Can it be used in Celestia?
