Sirius censored in Google Earth Sky-View, page 1

Ok well, I looked into this a little bit. I found no sites that offer up to date images of the Sirius Star.

However, I did find an article from a blog site that had posted the image of the censored out Sirius star. The article dates back to August 2007.

But this is somewhat alarming, Sirius is a VERY important star! We have the right to view it!! Especially with 2012 approaching, some believe Sirius will have a role to play in whatever happens.. and I can't even find the forum I was reading yesterday right now... sigh.. It'll turn up and i'll post it. Btw, the image is also censored on MS Telescope.

This is also a duplicate thread ..

Esoteric schools are expecting the "Chintamanti stone" to come to us from the Dog Star of Sirius.

here's a relatively good picture of the sirius star for those who would like to see what it looks like behind the orange paper cut-out used to block it off of google earth...

anyone else think that sirius is a sun for a very far-off planet that contains life forms...?

Why does the helix nebula look like the Morning Glory pool?



Because they are the same thing.

Bummer you can't find a picture of the morning glory pool directly over head....anywhere!! All pics you will find are from the side, but if you had a direct over head you can lay this over the helix nebula perfectly, because the helix nebula is the morning glory pool.

Peace

Here is a great image of Sirius AND Sirius B, its small companion star, as taken by Hubble:
www.innovations-report.de...

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows Sirius A, the brightest star in our nighttime sky, along with its faint, tiny stellar companion, Sirius B. Astronomers overexposed the image of Sirius A [at centre] so that the dim Sirius B [tiny dot at lower left] could be seen. The cross-shaped diffraction spikes and concentric rings around Sirius A, and the small ring around Sirius B, are artifacts produced within the telescope’s imaging system. The two stars revolve around each other every 50 years. Sirius A, only 8.6 light-years from Earth, is the fifth closest star system known

right right..
but what we're looking for is an up to date image.
I don't know when that image was taken.
google earth imagery is constantly updated.
the sirius censor/graphic artifact has been that way for two years.

if you look at sirius in the night sky, it's the most interesting star (to me at least) because it flashes like a siren light red and green
i've never noticed it do this before recent months.

i just want to see a very new image of it.
guess we'll leave it up to our fellow amateur astronomers with their telescopes to snap a few recent pics and post them.

and by recent i mean now.

and yeah.. it's the same artifact image in all the major sky viewing software packages.. maybe they get their image from the same source?

The image of my house on Google Earth is three years old. Why would you expect an image of a star (which basically never changes) to be updated "regularly".

You can find the sources of all of Google Sky's images here:
earth.google.com...

Sirius looks just as spectacular to me as I always remember it looking.

On many winter nights, the air shimmers with high-altitude turbulence, making Sirius twinkle with vivid flashes of color: red, green, yellow, orange, blue. Binoculars show this especially clearly. These colorful twinkles, of course, have nothing to do with the star itself, which is 8.6 light-years away. The tiny temperature ripples causing them may be no more than a few thousand feet from your eyes.

Sirius is so BRIGHT that if a time-exposure was taken of it, and surrounding stars, one of two things would happen:

1.)A proper time-exposure for Sirius, would leave all other stars in the area, except other very bright stars, invisible.

2.)A proper time exposure for much dimer stars, would leave a very large white blob whiting out close stars.

I believe they probably put a filter or mask over Sirius.

Indeed you have.

Go out into the garden on a clear night, find Orion's belt, then look along a line slightly more south than west of it.

Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, so you should have no problem finding it.

So much for your rights.

You have no right to look through somebody else's telescope or demand photos from somebody else's camera. You have the right to view images in the public domain, but it is up to you to find them. Nobody is obliged to show them to you.
