== Milky Way == | |||
As for all that speculation about the galaxy in the sky above the ark, well you can put it to rest. The only explanation is that this is the Milky Way, because according to the technology tree, Tier 0 technology is required for intergalactic travel, and the Forerunners were only Tier 1. Besides, the only galaxy that the Halos were present in was the Milky Way galaxy, and the Ark is exactly 262,144 light years away from the galactic centre. It could not be any other galaxy, because the nearest galaxy to the Milky Way is over 2.5 million light years away (thus exceeding the 262,144 LY distance). | |||
The size of a galaxy is open to discussion, they are as they are, and no amount of argueing is goung to change that. They do not appear bigger than they actually are. If the Ark is 260,000 LY from the galactic centre, then the galaxy would not take up the entire sky. Its a matter of triangulation: imagine an observer on the Ark looking at the Milky Way. Imagine a distance double the diameter of the galaxy between the galactic centre and the Ark, and draw a line through the galaxy (representing its diameter) then connect both ends of this line to the point on which the observer stands. You should end up with a triangle, and you will see that the observer is at a sufficient distance to see the Milky Way at the size it appears in Halo 3. | |||
