If you take a look at Stellarium, you will find the well know planets such as Jupiter, Venus, Mars very huge in proporions, [b][color=red]if you take a look at Jupiter with normal view (without zooming it) its about half the moon.[/color][/b] [/quote] (red txt) here an image example: http://astrobob.areavoices.com/files/2011/08/Jupiter-moon-Aug-20-midnight-1024x658.jpg [/quote] Thank you for providing evidence to your assertions. I agree that the scale is way off. The Pleiades are quite faint to the naked eye (though visible...I used to spot them decades ago at age 9 without a telescope), and of course the size of Jupiter along with it's most visible moons can be seen here versus Luna, our moon. http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/97/21/97217fa2c1d7f7f9c325fd2791c66e34.jpg It's not uncommon for scaling errors to be made to point out a heavenly body, it's improper to do so within an astronometric program to assist amateurs. Still, it's free, and helpful. I doubt that the author has an agenda. http://www.nightshadesoftware.org/projects/nightshade/wiki/Welcome Nightshade is a newer program that is free and open source and is supposed to be quite a bit more realistic, but may have a steeper learning curve. [/quote] NO, tard. It's not about just using a different program just bc the OP mentioned stellarium.. and this isn't about going outside and using a telescope either (fucking duh that's the way you would observe it)... the QUESTION IS do you THINK it was developed to FOOL people? Fuck. How retarded are you people? Can you not read words? Yes, OP! Stellarium, Google, anything that shows us the sky is a lie.. and to the tard who suggested another program: the INFORMATION contained WITHIN the program still comes from the SAME source... which is.... THE GOVERNMENT/MILITARY. Things are ever-changing and a map of the sky with the moon, stars, and planets is NOT MADE to compensate for the changes that are occurring... it's made to give you something that is CONCRETE and never changes year after year... If there WAS a Nibiru or Planet-X, Stellarium sure as fuck ISN'T going to be where you see it, get it? It compensates for ZERO changes over time. If you don't understand, you're not on the same level. US earthquake map is an example of this.. how the fuck do you think a U.S. agency gets readings from an earthquake in Japan the same moment it happens? Does your mind imagine the U.S. to have scientists there reading it as it happens? NO. All governments are ONE. Glad you brought it up, OP. [/quote] Paranoid much? Isn't it odd that you persist in using antiquated vulgarian words like "retarded"? [/quote]

What do you think about that?
I personally still use this software even to track it release by release and I've found some huge bogus things...
Do you noticed something as well? You tell me.
