[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] I don't understand. Maybe because I haven't actually seen the film yet (bought it first day out in the UK, but I've been busy what with moving and all). But Hobbes' map seems to imply the 'Verse is a small globular cluster or complex binary/trinary/whateverenary star system. That sort-of makes sense, although best I can remember such systems have conditions that aren't really conducive to supporting life, or at least letting it develop. So why then do it as a map showing everything as in orbit of one star, especially when it ignores the theory of the circumstellar habitable zone? Sure, that's just a theory, mind, but it's a good one. And according to that theory, the CHZ's distance to the star may change according to the star's mass, luminosity etc., but the size of the zone itself varies very little. You're not gonna get several dozen planets/planetoids/moons/moonlets into it without multiple/shared/overlapping orbits. And the chances of that. . . [/QB][/QUOTE]
