gourdgem New Poster Registered: 09/04/07 Posts: 1	HI Im new to this and may not know all I should but why is Sirius A covered with a yellow blotch? And by the way, why cant I fly up close to our planets like I can to a bunch of bright stars? All I get is an option to take a tour.. And if that blue thing is a ghost image, whatever that means, why and what are the lines for?? thanks
