Censor coordinates: Google Sky coords: 13 48 1.0 -8 28 20.5 Infared specrtum, there is clearly a large black box censoring a part of the sky, probably something NASA advised google to hide.
Please either fix the image to reveal its true image, or email me the uncensored version. Thanks.

What coordinate system are you using? Unless I know what coordinate system you are using, I don't know what "13 48 1.0 -8 28 20.5" means.
Let me guess: It's CW Leonis, at right ascension 9 hours 48 minutes and at declination 13 degrees 18 minutes. The star looks weird in Google Sky's IRAS overlay, but despite dumb conspiracy theories to the contrary, its appearance is simply an artifact of image processing (the star is especially bright in IR because it is surrounded by a dust cloud, which reradiates the star's light as IR).

I believe its a Data Error, unfortunately fixing it would be a problem since sky hasn't been updated in 10 years (2007) To see censored image > On Side Bar > Click Layers > Click Feature Observations > And Check Box (IRAS Infrared Sky)  Censored Image.kmz (723 B) |

CW Leonix, is in the Leo Constellation. The Censored Image is in the Virgo Constellation. There is also another blank rectangular area in the sky, and it in the orion constellation.

Once you posted the screenshot I figured out that the censored image and CW Leonis weren't the same. My mistake. I didn't know where the censored image was because I couldn't figure out what coordinate system was being used.

The missing rectangles of stars in SKY imagery wee noticed soon after Sky was introduced over 10 years ago. There were quite a few discussions and probably the best response is HERE in the old archived forums. Also see THIS THREAD about the many imagery errors in the imagery. HERE is a direct link to a YouTube explanation. Of course, YouTube is also a great resource for hoaxers and you can find any number of wild and crazy posts there too. |
