We are Borg, resistance is futile.

[Nick69pd]

Wow, this looks awsome. If you already have google earth will it update automatically?

[cuzco2585]

uh so can you explain whats so odd

[Joest]

Wow, this looks awsome. If you already have google earth will it update automatically?No. Go to the Google Earth webpage and re-download it.

The first pic in this thread looked like a pirate ship for a second then.

[Blaze Zero-Three]

Wow, that's neat. -Goes to download Google Earth-

If you can look into space now, why is it still called Google Earth? >_>

[Joest]

That new feature is called Google Sky. It's very neat.

C'mon, I've probably seen 4 episodes of Star Trek, but even I get this one.

the second image is an overlay, probably because of a satalite that google does not have permission to display. no clue what the first is.

[mato555111]

yes i dont know either

[Hex]

Press Ctrl-Alt-A.

[mato555111]

and what does that do?

[waggles v2]

It'll do something. Probably reveal the name of the object.

The first looks like something that got infront of the lens. Although I'm curious what small blue object would be flying around in space... Maybe just an edited image or a malfunction.

Something google's not allowed to depict? o.O Do we have fully armed battlestations in space now? Maybe another malfunction. The signal might have been mixed with another one on it's way back to earth. Mixed with a radio transmission of a carpet...

Russia probably has a death star up there.

[Woolfenstien]

Russia probably has a death star and a few gundams up there.fix'd

[adapuff]

That new feature is called Google Sky. It's very neat.

The first time i heard about this was on holiday in Venice. I saw it on CNN, saying "Google launches "Sky", -_______________________-" Ignore the last part.

I wonder how FAR you can go into space...

[iiLucas]

You can go pretty far in space. I've heard it's pretty big.

[ehntoo]

First one is probably some sort of internal reflection in the telescope from a light source nearly parallel to the lens.

My guess, anyway.

Second one isn't regularly distorted, so I'm guessing it's some sort of malfunction.

Just Guesses.

[mato555111]

your probably right

Resistance is futile.

[cuzco2585]

its a protoss flagship

[Chimpy]

The flight simulator is the most epic thing. You can actually land the plane (something I've only managed once though).

[Espo Mk. II]

1st one is the death star (i think) and the second one is obviouslly the borg.
