Though I think your explaination of it and relation to the said image is confused to say the least.

Having done some further research I’ve found this video which throws a bit more light (no pun intended) on the subject.

Have you ever wondered where the stars went…?

>Bradley> I too have seen this image before.

It is not a new image and yes, it has been tampered with.

Check it out. The cloud formations are EXACTLY the same. So, why is this news, and why is it showing up in all of my blogs????

You can not see the stars because the light being reflected from the earth is much greater than that of the surround star light, and the star light is thus washed out and easy way to see this, stand under a street light and see what stars you can see above you. then block out the street light with ur hand you will see many many more. a camera works the same as your eye.

Unless they’re removed – in which case it makes you start to believe that maybe NASA remove more than stars from their pictures, as claimed by many people.
