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

Wrong. The correct term is DIFFRACTION spike, not refraction spike. Furthermore, the reason it changes mid-stream is because of a seam in the stitched mosaic. I already explained all this before:

Top of one film plate:

Bottom of the other that they stitched it with:

When you stitch those two together, this is what you get:

The diffraction spike is different in the two because Sirius is at a completely different position relative to the optical axis in each image; in one, it's in the image, in the other it's off-image and above the telescope's field of view.

This is what you get for using a secondary source of information rather than the raw individual film plates from which the mosaic was derived. In other words, sloppy research technique.

What's debunked Astro?

The image or the question?

Why the fuck would you stitch those two together? And why is nothing else out of frame?

That guy is definitely a joke

Dude, the image at the bottom of the film plate is just that, it's at the bottom of the film plate. The image at the top of the film plate is the start of that film plate, not the end. It covers much more of the sky below it, but they stitched it in about that spot where there was overlap for their software to match up the stars and stitch the plate images together.

You say they, but I thought you said before that it's an automatic thing when Sirius glare is too bright.


Still doesn't explain why there's only a spike in the overlap.

Still doesn't answer the Question though...

I cleaned it up a bit.

It took like five minutes.

It is such a shame they are hiding her.

They aren't.

That's where we will just have to agree to disagree, Astro.

You can hold your perception and I will hold mine.

Thanks for directing me to it.

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.

It's not a matter of opinion, the data is there, your mistake was in trying to get sky survey data from google sky.

You still don't seem to understand your mistake. How do you think I got that image data in the first place? I did what you should have to begin with; I went to the primary source for the data, not google sky. It's not hidden, anyone can access it.

The question is,

WHY has Sirius A been removed from GOOGLE SKY?

Which has been explained to you 4 or 5 times.

What's wrong with you?

im telling Ya....hes on to something
hahaha
Belgium...small country ...big minds
well done Morpheus!

hehehe word up bro - tho, Im not with belgium nationality

I still think there's GOSU-people everywhere

and yes - you are right - I AM ON SOMETHING ;DD

I AM ON SUN LIGHT : ))))))))))))))))

The question is,

WHY has Sirius A been removed from GOOGLE SKY?

Not,

IS it possible to find an image of Sirius A on the internet if one looks hard enough?

I have a feeling you are a 'last word' type of person Astro.

That is a form of control manifesting through the fear of looking 'one-uped'.

Which has been explained to you 4 or 5 times.

What's wrong with you?

Lots, I suspect.

I seriously don't think she even knows how badly she just got pwned.

I rest my case.

I see it as the very opposite and you can leave it up the the reader to choose whom they want to believe and what resonates with them personally.


This thread has a lot more content than a single image. And it is your choice to focus on that alone.

I have heard your answer to this statement the last time I made it to you.


The image is merely a way for people to ask themselves a question, then reflect on it.

Reflection achieved.

OP,why did you delete my post and ban me from the thread?


if TPTB wanted us to not see the star, they woud remove it entirely, not just stick a mask over it.
