Re: Astronomic sleuthing (minor *SP*)

In Response To: Astronomic sleuthing (minor *SP*) (Louis Wu)


: RVideo did a little research, and found some pictures from NASA's Astronomy
: Picture of the Day archive that seem to be a decent match for a couple of
: the images in Halo 3. Click on the image below for a large version (his
: notes , including names and locations, are intriguing).

:

: Yes, I know that the consensus is that that bar galaxy is actually the Milky
: Way. I am not (and he is not) putting these images forward as fact - just
: interesting speculation. You've got to admit, the name matches between
: these items (which were the closest visual matches he could find in
: several thousand images) and Halo-related locations/names seems too great
: to be coincidental...

: One last point: for one to be able to view the NGC 1300 galaxy to such
: magnitude with the naked eye, in the sky, you would literally have to be
: far outside the Milky Way, just as described in the game's narrative.

Also, Iris Nebula is a hint to the people who played IRIS.
