Clip from bullet, courtest of jerry:
Jander: using maps.google.com you can see the a-bomb test site in nevadaUpdate:Jander: if you go to maps.google.com, click the satellite link, then search for “rachel nevada desert” – then pan the window S/W of where you end up – there’s a round white dried up lake, then futher s/w is a light brown desert area covered in masses of craters
alecm: i wonder which one is trinity
alecm: there’s a big one at the top
alecm: trinity is probably quite small
alecm: what are all the green ink splodges to the NNW ? military bases ?Jander: no idea – I figure that they’re “sensitive”
alecm: there are a lot more of them to the west; they *look* like agriculture, and when flying over the USA i have seen such things from the air, but the ones near the site look a bit artificial/photoshopped; i am also wondering about the coverage – evidently there are areas which are in one set of photos of the area, which are not in the other. different coverage, differernt vendors, different sensitivity and legal restraints ?
