Congratulations, Rich

No, I did not know this. I used a very sophisticated analytical technique to unravel the mystery (I zoomed in on the latitude and longitude at the bottom of your photo, where I found the picture and description in my post above).

After I figured it out I did recall noticing that there was no shifting or rotating as I zoomed in.

Yup. Just open Google Earth and start scrolling in for a tight view.

It's the center of Google Earth's universe.

Click the link in the image or keep reading; it is exactly above the satellite that took the picture. Would that be Google Earths POB?

Lawrence pinpointed as center of Google Earth

Apparently, one of the developers of Google Earth used to live in that building.
