will it go round in circles
Posted By: Roger Wilco <flxible289@netzero.net>Date: 6/25/02 4:09 p.m.

These are starting to look a bit more plausible. I rotated Halo 90 degrees. This is how pfhoenix was describing I think...it feels much better. Now Threshold and the other bodies appear in a more natural way although the scale is something I'm not bothering with just yet.

A couple interesting points come up. In this configuration, all of Halo is either in "day" or in "night." In fact, Halo's "nightime" occurs as it passes behind Threshold, traveling through it's shadow. Are "day" and "night" the correct terms for this situation? Also notice that the "night" on Halo is significatly shorter then the "day."

Also, there are two points in it's orbit of Threshold in which Halo becomes perpendicular or on-edge in relation to Soell. That is to say that the only part exposed to the sun is one half of the outside of the ring. During this moment the half closer to the sun eclipses the half farther out. Halo eclipses itself twice every day. What's the term for that?

Does any of this seem plausable? I think we are on the right track here.

Enjoy.

Louis. I know bandwidth is short, so if these are taking up pipe space please turn them off. This is pretty arcane stuff though, I doubt too many peoples are interested...except Miguel the Implorer, of course.

PS. Although Halo appears to be banking in the first movie, this is a distortion caused by a very wide-angle lens.
