... That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
And what do you know...
The name of the center star is Alnilam [אלנילם].
Oh look, there's "Neil" inside: אל*ניל*ם
What next, the Holy Grail? An entire galaxy?
Congratulations, NASA. You're everything we've come to expect from years of government training.
The Moon is symbolic of the kingdom of David and "Betelgeuse" is Beit-El-Jews, the House of God of the Jews; i.e. the Temple. Big hits at the box office.
Yet on the insignia, the Moon is yellowish and Betelgeuse is white, touching but not touching the Moon.
Betelgeuse and its red coloration have been noted since antiquity; the classical astronomer Ptolemy described its color as ὑπόκιρρος (hypókirrhos = more or less orange-tawny), a term later described by a translator of Ulugh Beg's Zij-i Sultani as rubedo, Latin for "ruddiness".[26][a] In the 19th century, before modern systems of stellar classification, Angelo Secchi included Betelgeuse as one of the prototypes for his Class III (orange to red) stars.[27]Three centuries before Ptolemy, in contrast, Chinese astronomers observed Betelgeuse as yellow; Such an observation, if accurate, could suggest the star was in a yellow supergiant phase around this time,[28][12] a credible possibility, given current research into these stars' complex circumstellar environment.[29]
