These objects cannot be more distant objects since the molecular cloud behind them obscures any background objects. We can only see the object in front of the cloud, the Trapezium Cluster, any random foreground stars, and the planets and brown dwarves in question.
And I just have to say that this whole thing is cool. If anyone knows of any sites related to planet discoveries or other astronomical coolnesses... I'd love to see some URL's posted!!
Thank you! "Automatable" just didn't come to mind when I was writing that! I knew "automaticizable" wasn't right.... but it was fun to write anyways;) ---Anvilak
I've played both Civ:CTP and Alpha Centauri... and believe-you-me: Alpha Centauri is a far better game! Nearly everything is automaticizable (is that a word?), from Formers (equivalent of Engineers/Settlers in older Civs) to Cities (can be set to several different modes, including Discovery and Conquest), to units (exploration). The graphics are pretty, and all the units are customizable. Governments are fairly different, and more interesting. Computer players are pretty smart, have personalities, and have rivalries even amongst themselves. I, for one, am eagerly anticipating Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri for Linux!!!!

Wow! I thought I was the only one who noticed the P and NP joke!
Cool.
I'm not just some psycho-pimp droid out of my mind but just a psycho-pimp droid with my mind on the plan!
(Hmm that last part didn't make sense... sigh)
