Weird close-up of the stars

[Haakon]

Okay so it was nighttime and I saw a cluster of stars that looked slightly unusual, so I looked at them through my spyglass. What I saw was even weirder! Will post a screenshot in a minute (guess I can't add it to the main post).

The stars are weird circles that overlap and don't look at all like stars!

Sorry for the odd post, just wanted to show my strange discovery :P

And at some angles you can see the beams of light that project down from each individual star as if it were a flashlight hanging in the sky.

Is this a simple graphical limitation of the Unreal engine, or is it a clue about what the ARK really is? Perhaps both? I suspect they're taking some of these limitations and running with them. Maybe even building on them.

Some time, stare up at the moon just as it's crossing the middle of the sky overhead and watch the interesting thing it briefly does that most people never even notice...
