Have any of you ever looked at Google Sky (the constellations) with your earthquake information loaded? I did this last night. Constellation Cassiopia (sp) has all the Alaska quakes in it. I went to USGS and noted the day and time of the 6.2 Fox Islands quake and then opened Stellarium and the closest place I could find there was Unalaska, which is in the same area and there was Cassiopia almost right overhead.
I was going to check other places but as I had Google Sky and Stellarium and my browser all open at once my computer decided it was all too much handle and it just stopped. And I went to bed.
I will do some more research later. I don't know where I am going with this. Just something interesting to me I guess.
