When I look at the sky through Google Earth, there is this weird blue thing by the constellation Phoenix...?

It is blue, to the right of the stars xEri and HD 10939. Does anyone have Google Earth? If you do can your check yours to see if it's on yours too? Just type in "phoenix", it'll be to the left of the constellation, next to the stars I said.When I look at the sky through Google Earth, there is this weird blue thing by the constellation Phoenix...?Internal reflection.

At high magnification, I recognize the "spider" (the arms that hold up the secondary mirror(s)) and the control rods for instruments mounted on the secondary.



This often means that some light source was turned on while the exposure was being taken.



In another site that gives a photographic map of the sky (done by amateurs) there are a lot of these spots. There is even one -- that was reported as "Planet X" by some wannabe-hoaxer -- where a series of double spots was readily identifiable as a flash from automobile headlights (I suspect the photographer was in a forest clearing, but not far enough from the road). Every time the car passed in a spot where there were no trees to block its lights, they would flash the lens and show up as internal reflections in the optics.



Google sky does not have as many (many photographs are from professional observatories) but that kind of mistake still happens, even in the best observatories -- and it does not take much light to show up on the photo.When I look at the sky through Google Earth, there is this weird blue thing by the constellation Phoenix...?my friend, you really shall not discover unknown objects in Google Sky.



If you still wish to detect one, just look to the real sky then!When I look at the sky through Google Earth, there is this weird blue thing by the constellation Phoenix...?Lol Google Earth isn't that accurate bro.
