Sometimes one sees deep red starlike objects in the Google sky, I don't know what they are. The reason for the circular patches around both celestal poles (about 10 degrees in diameter) is unknown. The Pole Star is therefore not displayed. But I assume is is a first beta version so things will improve and hope it will be available on the web as well like Google Maps which eliminates the need to install a program.
