Orion's Belt
« on: October 17, 2005, 08:51:34 am »
Okay, I noticed this just recently, I dunno if anyone else has...I know it's been a while since I've seen him-I live in Washington and it's been kinda cloudy at night...and I don't look at the stars so often anymore-but I know Orion's belt when I sees it. Someone know about the adjacent stars? Maybe we can get a pic to see if anything else matches up?

hmm i can sorta see the rest of the orion constalation (with the exeption of 1 or 2 missing stars) but i havent seen it for awhile so i could be wrong.

Actually, it looks like only the bottom half of Orion.  Betelgeuse and Bellatrix are nowhere to be found, but Rigel and the Nebula are in the right places.  Still, very interesting.

Interesting....

I sadly didn't look at the belt that much if at all.

Fascinating.  I'm glad Square did this.  It's very interesting.

Hey cool!
You've gotta be pretty 1337 to catch something like that!
Isn't that the scene where Lavos is hurtling to earth pretty quickly?

Well, if you think about it, it'd make sense that a few of the stars in the constelation would be missing.  He fell in 65 million BC, meaning that the stars wouldn't all be in the same place.  The creators of the game really did a good job trying to tie the Chrono world with ours, so much so that you can't be positively sure of its connected or not...(eerie music)

You found 3 stars that are in a line (although in the real belt they aren't actually in a line but a very very wide "v"). This picture makes me look like an ass, but it illustrates that really, things that look like orions belt (and some that look more like it than yours) are all over in that picture. I won't say it's impossible for the makers to have used a real starmap as the backdrop of the image, but it could just be finding things that aren't really there.

Who knows what the star map looked 65 million years ago... stars move apart and explode and are formed (mainly move apart)... but heck maybe the creartors threw that in...

Well thank you... i think.
Aura Twilight I can never tell if you're being a sarcastic asshole or just opinionated.

Usually both, but it's usually right/helpful. AT cracks me up.
