[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb] No, the reason they're looking for the trinary star is because it's a bit less common, and thus (hopefully) easier to find. And for those who might have forgotten, [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Centauri]Alpha Centauri is a trinary[/URL]. Closer and closer we get... [/qb][/QUOTE]I wasn't talking about the reason they're looking for it, just half remembering some article on exo-planets and how a gas giant in a trinary system is unlikely. Perhaps I am misremembering. Given that the comet's tail wasn't pointing away from either of the three stars, I think they're taking quite a bit of licence. So it probably was Proxima...then perhaps it wasn't really a comet... ;) Though yes, the thought that it could be the Alpha Centauri A-B/Proxima system did occur to me. Though in reality, assuming the comet & planet were orbiting Proxima, I don't think A&B Centauri would be that big in the sky. In fact they'd probably look like just one rather bright star, or dim sun. Though it depends on how authentic a picture the effects team are going for. [EDIT] Something that just occurred to me about the Hybrid-Prime's line about Kara being the "Herald of the Apocalypse". Apocalypse really just means "lifting of the veil", that is in Biblical terms the revelation of God's Will (hence book of Revelations) so perhaps in true prophetic fashion, perhaps that statement is a little more misleading that it appears. It's just the modern perception that closely associates Apocalypse with nukes, knives and sharp sticks. [/QB][/QUOTE]
