Which was what I was saying the entire time.

OH! I'm sorry. :p The star would've always been there, discovered was a poor word, but it'd be identified first. That might be a better word.

Right, now we are on the same page :p
Just a terminology correction, not a challenge to your claim.

Of course the ground telescope can just wait until the earth rotates into position.

True, that's why there's observatories, too, isn't there? :p . But the Hubble still remains superior in ways that I don't exactly know, but obviously they wouldn't have wasted billions of dollars if it was obsolete.


The only interesting thing about the hubble is that it can simply see more bands of light than most telescopes, which translates to it being able to take pictures of much larger/older areas than your average dish telescope on the ground.

For something as basic and rudimentary as determining how close a star is, a ground observatory would be more than satisfactory.

The Zombie hordes have made me wonder something. What is the primer monster of your nation/culture?
For Arcas and Amcar it's Werebeasts, people who for a variety of reason because beasts and half-beasts
Galric and Durerans have a Vampire/Revenant hybrid that is born from a desire for revenge and hunts down its target with unyielding determination, killing anything in its path. Though usually not considered bad spirits (merely avengers) the monster version is those who cannot exact their revenge (their target is already dead) and thus simply remain on the earth slaughtering other people while looking for their target.

No, actually they are supposedly more prone to the lowlands. They love bogs and the like.

And the legs of little Arcasan boys and girls :p

The Alysianns have many monsters, out most prominennt of which are the Cryptid called a Sychol and the monster known as Velshti. The former is a monster which lives in the depths of the massive inland subterranean lake dubbed "Sycholi" for the monster. Photographed in a fleeting form in the late 1500's AE, it is said to be nearly ten meters long, three meters wide, and looks like a large shark with an alligator head and mantis fins. It also has three glowing red "eyes" along either side of it's spine and multiple bony protrusions covering its back. Many claim it is peaceful, but the large carcasses of deep-water squid living in the same lake make many others think otherwise.

On a more serious note, maybe menacing lizard-looking shark-headed monsters in exoskeletons that want to "analyze" everything they come in contact with.

They literally turn them inside out and stick metal things inside their organs using an anesthetic to make the being conscious while they're doing it. Then they crush them and give them to natural predators.
