Fair dues...Ta...

So what this basically says is that the monomyth is just so much beautifully written backwards medieval superstition as ours was before Galileo managed to turn a telescope on the universe... biggrin.gif ...Excellent...

So I wonder what it says about the giant stellar dust cloud that obscures what is obviously supposed to be the bight centre of the galaxy that bisects the sky at night...

I did the "Go up the mountain and just watch" thing...So beautiful...Amazing bit of programming...

Heh, all I know (aside from big moon / little moon) is that there is a tight cluster of three stars that Buffy uses to help navigate at night since they are always due north. North Stars if you will. - - Here you go, in the upper left sky.

If you want to be further confused, try and reconcile the Orrery in Oblivion with the night sky.

This is pretty much the extent of my lore knowledge too... biggrin.gif

I've never seen the orrery... sad.gif ...I'm not sure it's even on the PS3 one...

I've seen pics of it...So awesome...

That pic of the three stars and the moons...I'm guessing with the moons that the big one's Masser and the little, Secundus...I think the bright star at the bottom of the three is what made me wonder about the other planets...It looks like how Jupiter appears in the sky...

I can't get decent screenshots else I'd show you where I think they - well, at least two of them - are...

The other thing about your photo...When I look at the moons on my game they're separated by a fair degree...In yours, Secundus is about to precede Masser...I wonder if there really is an orbital mechanics mechanic in the game?... biggrin.gif ...*Awed*... biggrin.gif ...

I do think there is some sort of orbital mechanics in play regarding the moons. I'm not so sure about the stars, I don't think the Three Sisters (or the Three Bears, depending on whom you talk to) that Acadian refers to move much across the sky - they might be close to the pivot point like our own Polaris is, and all the other stars rotate about it. Wouldn't it be sooooo cool if that were the case?? ohmy.gif
