I don’t know why. But that image is coupled in my brain to this one for some reason. Probably because I first saw both of them at the dawn of the interwebs in the late 90s

RIMMER: But a Black Hole’s a huge, compacted star! It’s millions of miles wide! Why didn’t you see it on the radar screen?

HOLLY: Well, the thing about a Black Hole – it’s main distinguishing feature – is it’s black. And the thing about space, your basic space colour is black. So how are you s’posed to see them?

…

HOLLY: As it transpired, there weren’t any Black Holes.
RIMMER: But you saw them — you saw them on the monitor.
HOLLY: They weren’t Black Holes.
RIMMER: What were they?
HOLLY: Grit. Five specks of grit on the scanner-scope. See, the thing
about grit is, it’s black, and the thing about scanner-scopes…
RIMMER: Oh, shut up.

Thanks for the breakdown! I had seen a much better video about gimbal rotation… but couldn’t find it, and I admit I didn’t have the audio on while skimming through that first link just to make sure it wasn’t a conspiracy theorist. Sorry I grabbed one of the bad ones. :confused:

No worries! The points that he makes do sound convincing unless you do an unreasonably deep dive into minutiae. :smiley:
