I ran across a youtube video describing how the star Sirius A (one of the brightest stars in the sky) was completely cropped out of google sky. I checked google sky for myself and sure enough, Sirius A is no longer visible. it appears to be an entirely intentional photoshopping action, and not just a part of the satellite image accidentally missing.
this reminds me how certain coordinates leading to an image of an area of space were also cropped out of google sky awhile back. im not sure the status of that, but I was reading that the coordinates were supposedly on or about the area where comet elenin should have been. this area was covered with a large black box in the middle of an image of space, with some visible light pouring out of the sides of the box.
so any thoughts on this Sirius A situation?
you can A) open google sky and search for sirius a for yourself, or B) check the same vid that I watched. either way youll see what im talking about.
