What is the geo-location of the "Bliss" image used by WinXP showing the green hill top. Lat-Long Google Earth? I've always wondered if the faint outlines over the hill on the right are housetops. With Google Earth or, if it's in the U.S., Yahoo or Google Maps, I could look at the area with a satellite view and pan around. I've wondered about the locations that the other images were taken from, too. The beach view, the sand dunes, and now, in the new version of Win7, there's all new places to wonder where the photos were taken. That Lat-Long looks very good as the loc. They might have photoshopped out the mountains to the left of the image. Today's eye-level view in google maps show the hillside covered with grapevines. Thanks

What do you believe causes those mysterious "Northern Lights" ? "Scientists think they have discovered the energy source of the spectacular color displays seen in the northern lights. New data from NASA's Themis mission, a quintet of satellites launched this winter, found the energy comes from a stream of charged particles from the sun flowing like a current through twisted bundles of magnetic fields connecting Earth's upper atmosphere to the sun." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071211/ap_on_sc/northern_lights 'Images Now Show a Circular Opening at the North Pole!. Something that all Hollow Earth Theorists have been waiting for. ... http://www.burlingtonnews.net/hollowearth.html Strange Map: Inside the Hollow Earth http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/03/01/85-inside-the-hollow-earth/ So is it energy from our Sun or enery from within Earth leaking out of a northern opening ?

Michael was right! There are aliens and they are living on Mars!? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJt0LJZG2k&feature=player_embedded A self-described "armchair astronaut" claims to have found a base on the planet Mars using a satellite imaging map. He thinks the base could have been made by aliens The video David Martines uploaded to YouTube has been viewed more than 850,000 times. He says the 750'-by-150' cylinder-like structure that he's zoomed in on using Google Mars looks like it's made for people to inhabit. In the video, Martines say he assumes people live in the cylinder or have lived in it. He named the shape "Bio Station Alpha." Experts told Space.come that the image was most likely caused by "cosmic energy" interfering with the cameras--not by aliens. "It looks like a linear streak artifact produced by a cosmic ray," Alfred McEwen, a planetary geologist at the University of Arizona told Space.com. Cosmic rays, which are emitted by the Sun and other stars, don't make it to Earth because of its magnetosphere. "But with space images that are taken outside our magnetosphere, such as those taken by orbiting telescopes, it's very common to see these cosmic ray hits. You see them on optical images and a lot of the infrared images too." http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110606/us_yblog_thelookout/armchair-astronaut-mars-video-goes-viral
