Bungie actually did their research
Remember on Venus how there's those neat blue lava flows and big blue volcano in the distance? Probably thought, "Gee, what neat sci-fi nonsense. (Like these enormous super bats!)". As it turns out though, it's not actually as much nonsense and you would think.
Venus has a lot of sulfur. As it turns out when sulfur burns it burns blue. Lots of hot lava combined with sulfuric gases makes what appears to be blue lava. Conditions for this to happen actually occur right here on Earth, most notably at the volcanic crater Kawah Ijen. This blue lava is only visible at night however due to that the bright white light from the Sun simply overpowers the blue light emitted from the burning sulfur. Venus' extremely thick atmosphere however blocks most visible light from getting through so the Sun's impact could be reduced to the point that the burning sulfur appears blue all the time. Neat to think they did that level of research before designing the map.
Now about that Sun on Mercury though...

2 RepliesWho cares? Destiny is shit.

Yeah, it's a shame they cant put that much time and research into crucible.

Bungie definitely does their research. Their places on the plants are based off of real places, and just so much more. It's why I love it
-
3 RepliesThe Sun on Mercury is apparently magnified by the Vex tech, it I remember correctly.
-
Just FYI, "Kawah" already means crater. Saying "volcanic crater Kawah Ijen" is unnecessary. Just say volcanic Ijen Crater.

2 RepliesWell they lack the common sense to balance weapons and offer more options in matchmaking among many other things, so.. Yea I guess they got a few things close, lol
-
On the other hand, it could just ACTUALLY be blue lava bc 1. The traveler terraformed all the planets 2. Its a video game But who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bump 4 SCIENCE!!!

Kudos and bump a million times. I love physics and you taught me something new this morning. Thank you Guardian thank you.

1 ReplySave for the guys who handle the mechanics and patchwork, the rest of the Bungie team really did put some effort into this game if you take the time to notice it. Weapons like the LDR-5001, Pax Totalis EPR8, and sidearms like the Vortimer-D hint to varying outside references.

12 RepliesAt least you didn't try and use this as some means of trying to prove that the earth is flat. Seriously, the moon, sun, and every other planet in the solar system is round, how could you not think that the earth must also be round... Now, if only I could win the lottery, I would pay NASA to take every single flat earther out there, put them on a space ship, and send them into orbit until they all agree that the earth is round... unless that was their plan all along, and then they can burn up in atmosphere...

Edited by SmashvilleViking: 4/20/2017 3:17:25 PMCan't even make a decent, scientific post without someone coming in, and being negative. I guess that's about right for this community, though. [spoiler]I knew what you were talking about, but it was still a good read[/spoiler]

11 RepliesThey didn't do their research on what a female sounds like when getting severely injured though. My wife thought I was watching porn once....

7 RepliesDoes uranus leak blue shit too?
-
In which case we should be getting injured by standing inside those pools.
-
Every other space-related inconsistency is shrugged off as 'space magic' or 'Traveler Terraforming'. But as soon as something is coincidentally 'right', they 'did their research'? Yea, no. I ain't buying it...
-
Other issues, IIRC, is that Earth's core is predominantly made up of iron....which glows orange. ...and the predominance of nitrogen in the atmosphere has a scattering effect on most wavelengths of light other than blue. So any amount of sulfur in magma/lava on Earth is probably going to be in too small a quantity to be seen very clearly OTHER than in low light conditions.

3 RepliesThe helium filaments on the moon and the mining operation? Based off of the prospect of mining helium-3 from the moon's surface too. Lots of detail behind what they've done on each location which is great.

But there's no such place as Russia on the planet earth. #woke #awoken #conspiracy #illuminati #staywokemyfriend

Actually kind of impressed by this.

1 ReplyBut there are tons of plants on Venus in the game, and in reality Venus has no known plant life.

(Shows photoshopped pictures of bats on venus) Look guys they where right all along 😂 Would laugh so hard.
