You realize Bungie screws up scaling, don't you? Take a look at the Earth from the moon, it's way bigger than it should be. Or, alternatively, look at the moon from Earth, when was the last time you saw a moon so huge?
It's intentional, I'm sure, because it's more "cinematic." You can see more details and such.

I aint no rocket surgeon but maybe a super space cowboy threw a rope around the moon and pulled it closer. It is the future after all.

The planet scaling on the map is because it's a map. The Dreadnaught it actually shown within the rings, in a much more 'to scale' like fasion. IMO.
-
He's talking about looking into the sky on Moon patrol missions. Earth is too big.
-
Wrong. Due to the Hive hollowing it out, the mass of the moon decreased (also explains why the moon is falling apart) so Earth's gravitational pull is applying more force to the moon.
-
The moon losing that mass would allow it to accelerate away from Earth, not get closer. Of course the mass of the Moon is likely higher than today since the gravity appears to be the same as Earth normal. Which would probably cause the Earth and Moon to get closer, tides would be higher, earthquakes would increase, the Moon's tidal lock would drift, etc.
-
Not how gravity works. Smaller objects do not fall faster. The moon having less mass would mean it affects Earth less. Overall there is less attraction from the combined gravity of both objects.
-
This is correct. Think of the moon as "falling" around earth.
-
I prefer to think of the Earth as "falling" around the moon. (and the Sun...)
-
The moon still contains a great mass. Also fun fact: Every 100+ years the moon get one centimeter closer.
-
The moon drifts away form Earth every year, not closer. About 4 cm each year, to be exact.
-
I could be wrong on this but i swear i read that it is getting farther not closer
-
You are absolutely right.
-
Farther away actually!
-
Oh I know it does. But it would still have less, assuming the Hive took the excavated moon dirt somewhere else. Probably slightly increasing in the amount it gets closer all the time.

[quote] Or, alternatively, look at the moon from Earth, when was the last time you saw a moon so huge? [/quote] Sometime back in March I believe, when there was a Supermoon. Was about the same size. A beautiful sight to wake up to.
-
it only looked big because it was close to the Horizon. The moon stays the same size
-
I know how it works. He asked when (we) last saw a moon that big, and I told him.
-
But we didnt see a moon that big because it wasn't. It was an optical illusion.
-
So earths view from the moon can be an infinite optical illusion
-
You guys are arguing semantics. We did [b]see [/b]a moon that big, but we didn't see a moon [b]that [/b]big. His point was just that he has seen it look that way before.
-
Lol welcome to the internet.
-
Thanks. I've been here a while. It was weird no one had greeted me yet.

Cuz this isn't sci-fi
