The service shows the street views of addresses all across the world via satellite images, which are typically one to three years old.
But Kevin Beaumont found something interesting at Longcross Studios, a film and TV production facility near London, on Google Maps: The Millennium Falcon is on site, or at least near a golf course close by. And it's surrounded by shipping containers, seemingly in an attempt to hide it.
Longcross, about 25 miles west of central London, has been a filming site for many huge films, including "Thor: The Dark World," "Skyfall," and "Guardians of the Galaxy."
This Millennium Falcon was most likely hidden amid filming of "The Last Jedi" at Longcross. "The Force Awakens," released in 2015, was filmed at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, UK.
You can catch the Millennium Falcon (not surrounded by shipping containers) when "The Last Jedi" hits theatres December 15.
