[X] My Assistant

I had reason to visit Trondheim (Norway) a few days ago.

The biggest movie theater in this city covers most of a city block with entrances on both sides of the building, and no less than 3 floors of viewrooms!

Interestingly they have named them after the planets, plus earths Moon the four galilean ones around Jupiter and a few others. But not ordered by size or place in the solar system.

When there's no film showing the LCD screen display a small information about the planet or moon in question.
So I took a walk around to see how they presented our solar system, and when I found Mars on the third floor I noted one old friend.

Well its a cinema after all, so they've added smaller images or rather icons from various known films.
And first I though they were dragonflies, but you are right in this case its spaceships from the first Star Wars movie.

The connection with the smaller images for each planet or moon was not always obvious, as in this case.
The one for Europa showed one stylisized image of the cracks in the ice, one that must be hard to interpret for most people.
Though the image for the Moon, Luna got Neil Armstrongs footprint was a striking and nice one.

Whoever made these images certainly was a space buff.

Please have a look at my image again - it reads 'Mars 6' there. What climber were referring to.
