The question I have is.
Why do I see the planets in, what I believe are, incorrect positions.
My understanding is that you go to a location in Google Earth, say Sydney; then open "Sky", and you should see the heavens as they are from you location. This seems to work for me with the exception of the planets. They are there but not where I think they should be. WHY?

I tried it with Mars by putting it in the search box. It was in the right place, but not displayed at the right magnitude. By the time I'd zoomed out to see which constellation it was in, it was no longer visible.
