in the final cinematic on AotCR, you see the planet hologram in the middle of the control room, with a moon and ringed by halo. Has anyone notice that this planet is earth? it bears a striking resembalance to our planet, adn the moon is the same too. Mor proof of the ark and all those theories. Play it and see. Does anyone else agree?

The planet and moon you are describing are the gas giant Threshold and its moon Basis which Halo Installation 04 orbits between.

Yea the assault rifle has that little pointer on it right above the ammo counter. It always points at Threshold.

Well, physically, the radius of the earth is approximately 6371 km, meaning that the diameter of the earth is about 12,742 km. We also know that Halo is 10,000 km in diameter. This means that the planet depicted next to the Halo in the control room hologram cannot be earth because the planet shown (Threshold) is many times larger than Halo, while the earth is only slightly larger than Halo.
