[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] I've never understood the purpose of using constellations for coordinates in the first place. Individual stars would work much better. A constellation can be made up of stars that are thousands of light years away from each other, and it would be hard to identify a "center" of the constellation. Makes me think more and more that the symbols are just that - symbols, just based on constellations. Not only that, but Jackson's original coordinate idea for the address in the movie is completely invalid. According to the movie (and ignoring the series for now), Abydos is outside of our galaxy. There's no way you can use any of our constellations to get coordinates in another galaxy in the way he described. I wonder how many people realized he was talking out of his ass, and just got lucky with the seventh symbol? ...... Holy crap, I just realized that Richard Kind was in both the movie and SGA! There's galactic doppelgangers everywhere! [/QB][/QUOTE]
