WHY HAS SIRIUS A BEEN REMOVED FROM GOOGLE SKY? The Hopi Prophesy. The Dogon. Nibiru.

Sirius is an incredibly bright star. So much so that it completely over-exposed the film plates used by the Palomar Sky Survey, which is where the "censored" image comes from. The "censoring" was to remove or block the part of the film emulsion that would expose the central part of sirius. The diffraction spikes and some of the glare is still there, but you can make out far more stars closer in to Sirius than you otherwise would. Bear in mind this was before the days of CCDs and digital imaging, so they couldn't just shut off individual pixels precisely and cleanly. Doing this though allowed fewer stars to be obscured by the glare of Sirius.

Here's a comparison image I made using the original source data from the individual film plates, which you won't find at a secondary source of sky survey data like Google Sky. First up is the familiar "censored" image:

Now here's an "uncensored" image using the same telescope but with film plates that did not obscure the light from Sirius at all:

Note how many more stars are drowned out by the light of Sirius in the second image.

Shillery at its best.

How about actually addressing what I said with substance? Oh, sorry, that's asking waaaay too much of you. Here you go, Sirius, properly exposed:

Wow, real amazing, isn't it? Yeah, they surely needed to hide that. Or they just needed to reduce the glare to reveal more stars closer to Sirius. Tell me, which of these images shows a greater total number of stars?

Yup. Not amazing at all. Just a star. Nothing spectacular about that.

I see you couldn't answer my questions. Can't say I'm surprised.

it is answer for Your's question's
The lenses are used such an invention as the iris, and lens made of a special type of glass to eliminate the phenomenon of flares, the camera sets the ISO sensitivity in addition, you may look for better arguments.

Got me.

Dont take things so seriously. Thats not what this site is for.

Just a star or not its spectacular and you just turn into a dick.

=Believe me, I could not care less what you think of me, but that last post of yours was quite amusing.

Thank you so much. Right now I am working on a thread explaining why you can not see Niburu in the sky. I am using Sky Viewing software Stellarium. I am trying to
"print screen" the current positions of Virgo, Leo, The Sun, Venus, Saturn, And Mercury. But when I ctrl V, it into Photoshop it turns into a black square. Any thought on how to get around this?

Disinfo software, for example, it show the upsidedown moon (so tilted severeal degree), even on our
northern hemisphere such USA / Europe
where it is not contemplate in that latitude.

Astromut, do you remember that the wages for sin is death?

Lie is a GREAT sin!!!

not bad OP : )))

with the binary system I kinda agree

but listen to me - IF

IF something trule is coming to drive-by

heheh - it will really ignite Jupiter

for to have the""TRIPPLE SOLAR SYSTEM SHINE""-thing ;DDD

hehehe - Jupiter is right at the other side of the Sun now and this year.. so

If we are already in a binary - prepare to go in TRIPPLE : D

donT worry

stay positive - remember - WE ARE IMMORTAL

SOULS haveing hu-man experience

not the other way round ^^ ;DDD

thats her reaching out for the sun , longing for an embrace
when they hug...Magic happens!
:)

Astro's explanation:refraction spike. The first pic has refraction spikes, this look like something a bit different to me.

Astro's explanation: 'Mask', so we can see the stars around it. They being more important of course, than one of the Holiest stars in our sky.


lol.
