What is this?

I was touring our sky on google sky and found this while checking out Jupiter. I also apologize if the picture does not show. I have no idea how to do this





What do you think it is????

dont know what im supposed to be looking at??? Is it the blue lines?? If so its where the pics are spliced together

EDIT:After searching for the answer....5 mins later here it is lol...from another member on here from a post in 2007

"Those lines are due to diffraction around the spider vane of the telescope, they're common in astrophotography taken by telescopes with a central obstruction."

Are you talking about the 2 parallel blue lines?

If you are talking about the two parallel lines then they are likely to be satellites passing the field of view of the telescope when the exposure was made. If it is a Hubble image, then I have no idea.

What is what? Be more specific, don't have a clue what you're asking about.

An old turn-based video game--Reach for the Stars (1983). I'm sure of it!

I have analyzed the image closely and have come to the conclusion that it is a 'screenshot' taken by a computer user while they were employing the facilities of a website entitled Google Sky.

ok smarty pants! LOL, I was indeed talking about the two blue lines that are obviously not suppose to be there.

It just took me by surprise seeing it. But if you guys think it is spiced photos or satellites, I am ok with that.
