@arczmaster 1 million light years is quite far, our galaxy is several times smaller. Our measurements of its size are quite accurate and definitely do have carry such uncertainty (biggest known galaxies in universe do NOT have the size of 1 million ly).
As for the stars, this is very precise! Stars’ proper motion is easily predictable and can be model to incredible accuracy for thousand and thousands of years.

I have one thoght about the millon ly miles thing. the distince we have for the milky way is a best gess estiment based on the number of stars we see and how far apart they cominly are it is however posible that we are wrong on this assumtion. as for how the stars looked that far back we cant be sure the seed could change by being hit by an asteroid or a roge planit for that mater.

This topic is quite trendy on the Internet right now. What do you pay attention to while choosing what to write ?

Even if he did—- this is a tv series and not some documentary, its fiction! its writen and composed by peoiple who do not have a degree in astrophisycs, the whole thing about “a milion lightyears away” god hasnt anyone of you ever said ” oh it was a hundred years ago” when refering to your own life? just to emphasise that it was a long time ago? or when you want to say that something is far away but you dont know how far ” a thousand miles away”? people do such things, overgeneralize, use metaphors, or make things seem bigger than they are, its like calling the nazis demons- when they are humans but just evil.. I stand by what i wrote, the author should get a life and not think too much about such things.

Nakor, you thought perhaps the first time he did just watch and enjoyed. Then watch it a second time for his picking it all apart session.

At first I agreed with Nakor…Get a life. Then I started thinking…God has a plan. And Baltar said it doesn’t like being called that. So I thought “God” is a computer and and the whole thing is a giant program and so whenever there were discrepencies with where stars should be etc. it was just a slight computer malfunction. I know its all very Matrix-y but maybe thats what Ron Moore had in mind the whole time. Other than that…it is just a tv show
