The area on 16th Street NW that’s been painted with a massive Black Lives Matter mural can now be viewed by people around the world using Apple Maps.

As uncovered by 9to5Mac, the tech giant added the historic artwork located on a street leading to the White House to its satellite imagery.

The zone is now ceremoniously christened as Black Lives Matter Plaza, a name that has been updated on Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze and Bing. Thus far, the Apple app seems to be the only one to feature the bird’s eye view of the painting commissioned by Washington mayor Muriel Bowser.

Spanning H and K streets, the mural is so sizeable that it can even be seen from space.
