Why is there a "blacked out" square?

"Wait, when did you say?

1958. The base data that appears in Google Sky, WikiSky and Microsoft World-Wide Telescope is from 1958. These programs are augmented with other data sources, but the block appears in the DSS data.

So, this means that the conspiracy theorists would have you believe that NASA and other branches of the government are trying to hide something in data that is 52 years old³."

Google Sky Hoax? or is this page a hoax?

Within the page, a youtube link:

Looking for anomalies or "evidence" in any of the available software applications is a waste of time. If there was anything there, TPTB would have had it removed before it was ever published. Go outside and look for yourself. If you have the cash and the time for hours spent on hundreds of dollars of computers and internet connectivity, you have the cash and the time for a telescope. Go look for yourself and then make up your own mind.
