If you zoom right in, is that someone's name that appears?

When I first zoomed in I couldn't help but thinking: O my god, there it is finally revealed, God's last message to his creation, inscribed on the Milky Way.
A moment later, when I realized that the name appeared everywhere, I abandoned that idea and thought: O no, it's created by Google Earth.

For those with Android phone, did you ever try Google Sky Map ? You point your phone on a part of the sky and it shows which are the stars, planets etc...
