This is Shadow.

[ No description of his vehicle this time. ]

First, does anyone recognize any of the stars or constellations?

Second, does anyone know the best way to record the ones that aren't familiar?

If we're thorough enough, we might be able to use the stars to navigate.


( OOC: I asked the mods about the stars here if you'd like more info! )

Wait-

You can use the stars to navigate!?

How!?

Well, I haven't been able to find the Big Dipper. Or the little one either.

[Leo actually likes space and the stars, but he's also never looked at the sky properly when away from NYC's heavy light pollution, so he's pretty much useless for this discussion.]

It's kinda cool, though, right? I've never seen that many stars at once.

I can help make a composite view - but no, I do not recognize any constellations either.

We can either use photo-taking devices, or make a drawing on a large enough paper and fill it in as we go.

... We could tell if there are other planets, too, not just stars. The difference between them is consistent, since this planet's atmosphere is mostly unchanged from the Earth I know.

[Improbable as that seemed, considering the literal moon fragments everywhere.]

[So someone finally brought it up...

Well then.]

No. The constellations differ greatly, just as the moon does. At this rate, we'd be better off searching for native star charts or creating our own.

[Now this is something Apollo is familiar with, one of the perks of having an astronaut for a best friend.]

Like the others have said, everything here is just totally wrong for Earth. Even if we come from different hemispheres, it should all be the same stars, just flipped around.

Making a star chart is a nice idea. We'd have to cover a lot of ground before the stars start to change.

[Sleep has been evading him in this strange new world- this was a subject he had been focused on while in the grips of insomnia. Waver chimed in eventually-- with information that could potentially be helpful.]

On the Earth that I'm from, there's many people who indulge in outdoor hobbies to the point that there's star charts and other tools, like astrolabes, still available to anyone who wishes to use the traditional tools.

Like everyone else, I don't recognize anything in the sky-- but, if we can find a cache of outdoors supplies, we might be able to find charts, tools, and other information.

Do we even know if the sun still rises in the east here?
