MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 6:49 PMI just finished reading the Empire article and can't believe how much info they gave us.
- SJ in chair including head is just a space suit
- giant head is face of creators
- SJ are grey/blue skinned
- last eight minutes might reveal how ship ends up on LV- 426
Feel free to correct anything that might be wrong.
I am starting to think that humans might be primitive form or variant of the SJ race.
This is for FRANTZ go to Bug Hunter's comment for the article.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 7:35 PMThe first and third ones we already know, the second was a fairly sure, and the 4th is just a maybe anyway - so not that much new info really.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 7:55 PMI am loving the 4th ... different planet ... LV-223 (still going with that) ... :) ...
That's good then because it's unknown ... hence totally different ride altogether ...
I also thought LV-426 was a lot bigger than the planet they land on, HUGE actually ... it's more like the size of the planet we see on the left, as Prometheus glides down to the surface ... not only that, that larger planet has RINGS ... you can see these by watching the scenes when Prometheus lands ... ;) ...

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 8:05 PMLV-426 is actually very tiny. It's only 1200km in diameter.
I'm still not comfortable with the idea of the SJs being large blue humanoids in suits, unless they meld with them somehow.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 8:07 PMActually Gem]n[, LV-426 is just a planetoid that only a few thousand meters in diameter

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 8:31 PMIs it? ... damn it ... need to watch Alien again ...
Ok ... but what if the ringed planet could still be LV-426 though? ... I'm a persistant sod ... :) ... the take-off shows the rings better ...

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 8:40 PMHi everyone!
So the physical appearance of the alien pilot is just a suit ? at least I would like to see some kind of fleshy symbiosis with the tall and bluish being... in Alien looks very organic, despite appearing to be fossilized.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 8:42 PMGem]n[.......LV-426 is one of the satellite moons of a ringed planet orbiting the star Zeta II Reticuli...It is obvious that the planet in 'Prometheus' is either LV-426 or, more likely in my opinion, it is one of the other two moons....I believe there are 3 total moons, could be 4, I don't remember.
The literal size of the planetoid is not mentioned in 'Alien', but in the novelization of the film.....

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 8:57 PMBased on what we know, I'd have to say the one in the middile is LV-426

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 9:09 PM@ craig. It was 1200km. they walked just under 2000 meters to get to the derelict. and they certainly didn't land on the other side of the planet. Lambert - " It's a planetoid, 1200km."
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 10:47 PMIt's on the readout of the Nostromo in Alien that LV426 is 1200km diameter.
Trivia: The real Zeta Reticuli system is 39 lights years away and has 2 stars, but no planets.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 10:49 PMI was about to say, a few thousand meters is nothing. A 5k race is a few thousand meters and that's about 3 miles. 1200km gives it a circumference of 3,768km or 2,336 miles.
For comparison the circumference of the earth at the equator is 24,901 miles or 40,075 km and the moon's circumference is 6,790 miles or 10,864 km.
I wonder if the author did any research? In the movie, Ash says the gravity is .86 which I would assume to mean .86 the gravity of earth.

MemberOvomorphMar-28-2012 10:53 PMI would also like to confirm the 1200km after watching ALIEN last night. I hadn't remembered it was so small.
