  • Cameron has addressed Tyson's criticism that the incorrect star field was used during one of the film's most famous scenes.
  • when Rose (Kate Winslet) is lying on the piece of driftwood and staring up at the stars, that is not the star field she would have seen,"
  • There is only one sky she should have been looking at ... and it was the wrong sky! Worse than that, it was not only the wrong sky; the left-half of the sky was a mirror reflection of the right-half of the sky
