You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

What do Arks usually do anyways?

  • 06.26.2006 8:46 PM PDT

There's only one Ark, as far as we know, and all we know it can do is activate all of the Halos at once.

Sorry, but it couldn't really shoot at the moon. They would probably be lined up once in a while, but not very often.

it's not aiming at the moon, if anything it was shooting at the other halo's and there is most likely one ark, i mean why would they need more?

If the trailer was at night, then it'd be possible for it to shoot at the moon. It's kind of hard to shoot at the moon when it's on the other side of the earth...

WTF does that mean? The moon is still around in the day *looks out window* i can see it now.

If it's the afternoon, chances are you will not see the moon, as it is not over your part of the world.

I mean, if you look where the sun is in the trailer, it's either morning or after noon. Either way, the moon won't be straight up , as though it were the noon sun, which is where the beam from the Forerunner structure/ark appears to be heading.

ever heard of a SOLAR eclipse before???
WOW, just go check out a book on astronomy before u make weird assumptions

and btw, when u say the moon is never out during the day, ur actually saying that ur a complete idiot.

Hmm, if it was solar eclipse, then it'd be happening during the trailer. I mean, the majority of the discussion is based on whether or not the artifact is shooting at the moon during the trailer. So I think it's you that needs to stop acting so tough when you don't know what's going on.

I also never said that it was never out during the day. I said that the moon is not out at the position of a noon sun during the time of day that the trailer seems to be taking place at.

Ok. Time to step into a flame war.
The moon could be out, and not eclipsing the sun. It could be in a position that it's at it's zenith, and be targeted by the artifact in the trailer, but not eclipsing the sun.
Remember: A solar eclipse here in North America would not be happening in a below-the-equator continent like Africa. At least, not the same way. So yeah.

While, I'm not saying it's not possible it seems very unlikely that the Moon would be at its Zenith during the afternoon. Either way though, we wouldn't be able to see it if it was at its zenith because of the clouds. So I guess the only people that truly know is Bungie.
