In Response To: But is it the Milky Way? (kapowaz) : Is it? From previous discussion and comparing the relative position of The : Ark to the galaxy visible at The Cartographer (end of 'The Ark' level; a : galaxy which notably looks completely different to the one in the sky) it : seems quite likely that the galaxy in the sky is in fact a completely : different galaxy. If for no other reason, The Ark is likely to face away : from the Milky Way (to shield it from the rings when they fire). : Additionally, the Milky Way isn't a barred-spiral galaxy; it's a : logarithmic spiral. : I wrote some more about this previously, but I think my screenshots don't
Actual light views fo the Milky Way may differ from the one in the Cartographer. Just last night I was up at the observatory at CU-Boulder looking at true-color images of nebulae and galaxies. The TA reminded me that using false-color images or images with other light sources of the electromagnetic spectrum can bring out more detail. It's reasonable to assume that Forerunner tech could have done this for similar reasons.
