[Rigel003 (Graeme)]

Just watched an SBS documentary called "Unskinkable Titanic" that I recorded a few days ago and discovered an astronomical blooper. Just before the iceberg collision the crew members on watch look at the stars and one says, "Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Orion".

Now of course we all know that at 11.40pm April 14, 1912, just south of the coast of Newfoundland, Orion is long gone. Here's a Starry Night simulation of the western horizon from the correct location and time.
